Beach Slang are worth the hype. If you want a band that seamlessly combines indie, emo and pop-punk and which manages to fit the bill for fans of The Replacements, Jawbreaker, Superchunk and Japandroids, then this is for you. By now, the biggest comparison though is to the sound of the Goo Goo Dolls. Vocalist James Snyder's low-brow and stifled delivery really sells this and continues to push the aching sentiment that Who Would Ever Want Anything So Broken? left us with earlier this year.
"All Fuzzed Out" opens things up to pick up right they left off. Fuzzy, frustrated and feedback galore but embedded in a musical style that Snyder thrives on. Twangy hooks and a '90s-era impassioned attitude a la Johnny Rzezknik allow him to embark on cleaner, more polished notes at times, followed by more ragged outlays. This helps to fashion Beach Slang as one of the more memorable bands at present due to the simple fact that they've got this distinguished sound. Their blanket statements seem catered to American teens and in this americana, you enjoy hearing basement stories, as well as Snyder's take on young lovers trying to find their place in the world.
