Lifeguard

In the organizer's words:

Chicago-based trio Lifeguard will release their debut album "Ripped and Torn" on June 6th on Matador Records / Beggars.
The young trio, consisting of Asher Case (bass, baritone guitar, vocals), Isaac Lowenstein (drums, synthesizer) and Kai Slater (guitar, vocals), have been making music together since their high school days, almost a quarter of their lives. Loud and direct, cryptic but with heart, their songs draw inspiration from punk, dub, power pop and experimental sounds, bringing it all together in an explosive Sound of Now.
Recorded last year in Chicago with producer Randy Randall (No Age), the album captures a claustrophobic crankiness that evokes the feel and energy of house parties and tightly packed rooms, where ears are easily overwhelmed and ragged improvisations combine with the same power as melodic hooks.
Lifeguard are among the spearhead of new bands whose creative melting pot is centered in and around Chicago, most recently spawning the band Horsegirl. The scene is made up of musicians, fanzine makers and concert organizers and is inspired by the DIY indie movement of the 90s.
