Bad Channels takes me on a ride through their latest EP Death Toll. Describing themselves as a 2 piece wasteland band, the EP is a diverse collection of cultures colliding with pop sounds from bubblegum to digital dance beats, snappy fingers and hypnotic looping melodies. Their single Death Toll reminds me of a modern 8O’s beach pop track with power pop bubblegum drum beats and enchanting vocals that echo with an anthem. My favorite track Talk it Out takes a turn with hip-hop swagger and chanting loops that vibrate making you pop a long. See them tonight @ Smiling Buddha. It’s a heavy lineup with the Dirty Frigs, TWIST and Bile Sister.
