San Francisco’s Waters signed to Vagrant Records the other day and announced a new EP for October 14th.
We first got involved with the California alt-rockers when we heard “Got To My Head.” (the title for the ep, It All Might Be OK, is a line from that cut).
GTMH is a fun modern rocker and a song that hooked me in when I first heard it.
The new feature cut I”I Feel Everything” picks up where we left off. Big sounding alternative crunch.
Lead singer Van Pierszalwoski talks about wanting to put a little more rock back into alternative rock.
“This song came about after listening to alternative rock radio for the first time in ages and recognizing the lack of anything alternative or rock about it. Where are those dirty guitars? Where is that frenetic energy? Where are the songs that made us want to start a band in the first place? Most days don’t feel like they’re going to be the best days of your life. Most days are kind of fucked up. And it’s nice to have a sanctuary for those days, and for us—that’s always been rock and roll. ‘I Feel Everything’ is our rally call to get that back.”
Whoa…if this were TMZ we’d all go… “whoooooaaaaaa, Van is throwing shade at American Authors!!!!”
Most days ARE fucked up and Van screams at us to make it all feel better. The drums are going to pound and guitar riffs will cascade around you. The song reminds me of 80s alternative while at the same time utilizing the polish you’d hear on a modern 2014 recording. Here we go.
Waters are on tour…no show out west near us….but Toronto friends can see them on October 24th at the Opera House…and the next night in Montreal at the Cabaret Mile-End.
Go with yourself.
