soundvsystem x Mac Luster
If you take the grit from Cloud Nothings, mix in the lyrical influences of The Smiths and a dash of the emotional rawness of Coheed and Cambria, you get Mac Luster’s new EP Ritual. Learn more about the songs that influenced the Los Angeles indie/emo act Mac Luster while making their recent record.
soudvsystem x Dining Dead
Is This a House? is the sound of a band breaking boundaries. For their second album, Dining Dead was influenced by chamber pop, funk, yacht rock & folk and turns it into something entirely their own. We spoke with Sammy Skidmore about the album’s slow-burn creation, the band’s deep connection, breaking traditional song structures and how a hilariously awkward date inspired the title. Read our interview and listen to the band’s selection of songs that inspired the album.
