Post-Punk Revivalists: Astral

Astral, a Bay Area trio who has just released its third full length album Forever After, are taking the prize for the most aptly titled band we’ve come across in ages. Their brand of atmospheric rock is absolutely "of, relating to, or coming from the stars." Even more, this release finds the group fitting snuggly into the genre of post-punk revivalists, creating a proper blend of ringing bass and melodic guitar work that quickly curves into soaring arena ready sounds. Try the trio on for size below.
