Oakland’s Warm Soda flaunts a gift for punchy power pop hooks reminiscent of classic punk bands like The Buzzocks and The Soft Boys. Their first full-length album, Someone For You, drops next week on Castle Face Records (Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall). The album was recorded at the band’s own studio, Fuzz City Studio, and offers twelve raucous tracks that are bursting with retro gusto. Singer Matthew Melton’s vocals maintain a peculiar and attractive delicacy against the backdrop of vintage rock ‘n’ roll overdrive. Warm Soda is currently busy touring the U.S., and will return to the Bay Area in late April. Stream Someone For You in its entirety here. -Andy Lambert
