Ears Wide Open: Spaceships

2

L.A. band Spaceships claim they play bedroom-garage style rock and roll for the kids, and it’s hard to disagree. No matter one’s age, their fuzzed-out tunes have no place in the life of a real “grown-up.” Perhaps it’s because Jessie Waite and Kevin LaRose sing their melodies with a hint of twee. Perhaps it’s because the songs from their self-titled EP could perfectly be the soundtrack for one of those movie scenes where a bunch of teenagers throw a wild party while the parents are out of town. Whatever the source of exuberance may be, Spaceships (joined by Jude Evans when playing live) and their reverb-drenched vocals, chugging electric guitar and solid percussion do the job if you ever need help reverting to a young punk again.

Download: “inTheSun” or grab their EP in its entirety over at their bandcamp.
