Between those who’ll call it cheesy and others for whom ‘it all sounds the same’, a taste for surf can turn today into something of a guilty pleasure. But Bath Party are nothing like your hot rod Pebbles classics; closer to early instrumental waves, they spice up the old rolling routine with persistent distortion, and a sexy touch of hip-shaking Mediterranean riffs. Drowning deep vibrating vocals in a sea of bass & drums, they drifted for their second EP further towards heavily reverberated surf-infused garage rock and blues, as opposed to simply twisting the aesthetics of the genre. Skeptical? Check out the track below. Currently working on a third record to come, the trio will be playing at The Know on July 27th.- Tracy Mamoun
