Cruiser started off as a solo project from Andy States with a few self-recorded demos, which were birthed from a walk-in closet of an inner city loft, but after catching the attention Jeremy Park, the producer of Youth Lagoon’s brilliant The Year of Hibernation, his self-titled debut was eventually fleshed out. The 6-song EP is simply chock-full of feel good indie pop, and tonight he’ll be bring those songs to the stage of The Fire for the first time with a full band that also includes Josa Lazas (Tutlie, ex-Golden Ages, ex-Strand of Oaks), Jon Van Dine and Kyle Cook. They’ll be joined this evening by the lazy summer beach vibes of Swiss Alps, noisy post-punkers Ghost Ship, and the seductive, introverted pop of Norfolk, VA’s Suburban Living. Come out and help pop Cruiser’s cherry! The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 8pm, $8, 21+ – H.M Kauffman
