Brooklyn’s power-fuzz group rad dreams is a testament to the numbing power of a good array of effects pedals. The quartet seems to take its melodic roots in folk, and its tonal roots in Black Sabbath and The Pixies, turning genre on its head, and re-imagining convention. Heavy on the fuzz, and soothing in vocal harmonies, they paint pictures of static beauty against sludgy and hazy backdrops, creating a nuclear comfort for the agitated soul. Their cool, nervous vocals tell you it’s okay to be ill at ease, either with self or the world, or both. Catch them at Glasslands on May 14th with Blood Red Shoes, and Radkey. (Please go see them and take a picture we can use for this post since we can’t find any). – JP Basileo
