Mindtroll, Boy Girl Party, Parlor Walls

Mindtroll crept up from the Gowanus Canal in early 2010 and has since spent their time honing their inscrutable sound, which is not unlike the angriest children’s choir.

Brooklyn-based Boy Girl Party has a little chip on their shoulder, but a few minutes on the dance floor shakes it off.

Sweet 3-part harmonies unfold over pop melodies; sassy shout choruses punch & crackle out of gritty-but-clean power chords; quirky & salty lyrics pepper radio-ready hooks, and a tinge of aggression pops up every now and then.
