Impression – Young Adults
A beautifully prepared slice of post-punk noise, guitars that dance on the end of hooks like they’re being battered, snarly vocals, and all of this drenched in a sort of washed-out almost shoegazy blend of reverb and carefully plucked notes.
Young Adults manage to accomplish the difficult feat of sounding like about a million other bands but still being just a little bit ineffable. So, if you like the Pixies or Nirvana or Dinosaur Jr. or basically any garage rock band ever you’re probably going to like these guys – but they don’t really sound precisely like any of their influences. They’re loud, enthusiastic, tightly-wound, and completely irresistible.
To put it another way: the craze for No Age a couple years ago would be far more deservedly be directed at Young Adults. They’ve only got a demo out right now, but hopefully a full-length is on its way soon.
