Formed by members of Brooklyn’s drunk folk-punk icons Wild Yaks and Austin based indie rock’n’roll darlings Harlem, DAYTONA is a new band that delivers a less energized sound, but more complex and as drenched in ethilic atmospheres. The band’s debut EP could be filed under the chill wave (or glo-fi) wave, but we also hear a fair amount of post rock influences, traceable in the guitars’ textural patterns and elegant melodies. The vocals bring in the alcoholic element, with their lazy cadence and crooked melodies, at times reminiscent of early Pavement and early Modest Mouse, but more… intoxhicated. If you are in NYC, check DAYTONA out live at She Stadium on march 2nd – it’s an EP release party!
