Up and coming bands we like: Slam Donahue play Cameo on 09.06

You may have seen Brooklyn pop trio Slam Donahue gigging at Brooklyn Bowl, Little Field, or The Cake Shope earlier this year. They have come out of the box strong, releasing a three track EP on their bandcamp site this January and now, thanks to their ambitious gigging and superb live performances are, “being courted to record an album.” Slam Donahue is an interesting blend of poppy vocal inflections, matched with upbeat drumbeats, and tantalizing synth lines, harkening us back to lovely 90s grooves concordant with The Cure, but matched with the fuzzy grunge of the likes of Dinosaur Jr. Make sure to check them out tonight, 9/6 (tonight!) at Cameo! – Ed Guardaro (@wangtungchufu)
