“Brooklyn-based band Stripes embodies bleeding raw indie-rock. Melodic almost angular harmonies are matched with an equally explosive live performance. Stripes has a distinctive style and sound all their own, featuring tight, chugging verses that propel you to triumphant peaks of ear-worm choruses. Led by vocalist and songwriter Izzy MK, whose vocals balance power and vulnerability, their music is as emotionally charged as it is sonically intense. Operation: No Hell is their first single of their upcoming EP.”
I recently received an exciting new single from a vibrant indie rock band based in Brooklyn. As I listened to the song, I found myself pondering the best way to categorize their unique sound. Is it lo-fi noise rock, fuzzy post-punk, or perhaps jangle punk? Despite the difficulty in defining their genre, one thing is certain – the song is brimming with energy, featuring fast-paced guitar riffs and dreamy, hazy vocals reminiscent of dream pop. Its infectious rhythm and captivating melody make it one of the most intriguing tracks I’ve come across in a while. I can’t wait to hear more from the band and see what their upcoming EP has in store.
In the meantime, blast this one and get your feet moving.
