Daily electricity to load your batteries

Band: SEXTILE
Who: House-punk trio from Los Angeles, led by key members Brady Keehn and
Melissa Scaduto. Since emerging in 2015, they have been a party-provoking force
on the LA underground, capable of kicking up a riot with the raw-edged squall
of a synth or the sharp-elbowed jerk of a guitar.
New single: FREAK EYES
First shared piece from their new, upcoming, 3rd album
yes, please. It’ll hit your stereos on May 2nd. More info here.
Press info: “The group’s new LP, fuses anarchic electro fire with raw personal
recollections —and enough beefed-up bass to bust a speaker or two. yes, please
is an album of contrasts: a vulnerable record that bares its soul as much as it revels
in excess, showing just how far you can push your sound when you shake off your inhibitions.”
Brady Keehn about the new single: ”Freak Eyes is about the pressures of making art, living, and aspiring. The sound was inspired by house parties we went to in NY where certain tracks
we felt had that conversation- stopping power.
If you were in the middle of a convo with a friend and heard certain songs, it didn’t matter
what you were talking about, you stopped and joined the party in the collective release of emotion, singing, dancing, and drinks flying everywhere. It was like in that moment, nothing
else mattered but that energy that we all collectively felt.
And I felt like I hadn’t seen that at a party, or anywhere in
a while, and wanted to try to bring that feeling back into
the world again.”
TUTV: Oh my, oh my. From their first whirlwind gig in Belgium on, back in 2018, I fell
in love with these bonkers punk-house iconoclasts. Their adrenalized vivacity goes
through the roof, on stage and on record.
Back to today with the first taster from forthcoming album #3. Freak Eyes is an instant classic nightclub smasher for 24-hour party people who want to go out off their messy
heads, far away from today’s fucked-up world. Want to escape from the daily rat race
for a while? Let Sextile kick your demons where it hurts. Pronto.
