There must be something in the water in Chicago—cause the city is churning out great indie rock bands at an alarming pace. Horsegirl, Friko, Ratboys…and now, meet Lifeguard. Following a series of EPs, the band’s debut Ripped and Torn is out now on Matador Records. Produced by Randy Randall of No Age and the Hyphenate podcast, the record’s raw and catchy sound should appeal to fans of old school bands like Unwound, Fugazi, or This Heat.
For a deeper look at the band, check out their behind the scenes look at their single “It Will Get Worse.” And DO NOT miss the band July 23rd at the Valley Bar and nationwide as they tour in support of this killer debut.
