Seriously. What is going on? How did those middle schoolers figure out how to jam? They have one EP out on Spotify, called Faces EP, with just five songs, but they are a blast. A blast that somehow has really few plays - no song has more than 15k spins, and most are under 10k. Something is wrong with that. My favorite is the Nirvana-steeped "Faces." This is a less-than-stellar video of a live version, but you'll get the idea until you go listen to the whole EP twenty times on Spotify. Which I encourage.
Get it ON! Children of the ROCK! Very In Utero-era sounding to me, which is a great thing. The stuff I read online about them pegs them at like 15/16 years old, from Austin, and they have played together for several years. They get compared to Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr., and shoegaze. I love it. Here is one more newer tune that isn't on the EP. "Fabulous"
Hell, here's another not on the EP, a cover called "Friday on my Mind."
I dig the Queens of the Stone Age drum solo in the middle. I am all in on these dudes. Second line from the bottom at their home town festival, making good.
YouTube just played this video for me too, so why not share. I might just collect every video they've ever been in. The opening sounds of their first song on it ("ICSTW" or something like that) is Bleach-era Nirvana and then turns into old Blur. Freaking sweet.
The host's age check says they were 14, 16, and 16 as of January 2015. "Not Having Fun" has a really good chugging middle section of rock lockdown. I feel like we're getting in on the ground floor of something amazing here. I just friended them on Facebook. I think I'm going to get emotional unless I see them play live immediately.
