The recent reinassance of the slacker rock sound of the ’90s in the NYC scene is something so obvious that can be indisputably filed in the skinny folder of "absolute truths" – and we call ourselves relativists! Not many bands saw this coming as early as Collingswood, New Jersey’s trio Aspiga. Their sound, obviously affected by a youth spent listening ad nauseam to bands like Husker Du and Dinosaur Jr, has remained very consistent since their 2010 debut "Tense," through a remarkable number of releases. Latest full length "What Happened To You?" sees vast improvements in the recording and production, and features noteworthy single "Wide Eyes," which develops their songwriting in more unpredictable directions. Aspiga will be performing live at Aviv on November 12.
