Ultra Violence / Appetite
“The Chicago trio’s new maxi single takes their sound in a scratchier, more primitive direction than 2025’s Ripped and Torn.”
Ripped and Torn
“Chicago trio put their own fresh twist on classic art-punk”
Ripped and Torn
“The young Chicago band crams its debut album with streamlined hooks and a reverence for pop, punk, and post-punk history.”
Crowd Can Talk - EP
“On a pair of EPs, the young Chicago band captures the kinetic energy of its live show, walking a thrilling tightrope between abrasion and melody.”
Crowd Can Talk / Dressed in Trenches
“On Crowd Can Talk / Dressed in Trenches, Lifeguard lug a first-rate house show to the studio”
Crowd Can Talk / Dressed in Trenches
“There are times on Lifeguard’s ‘Crowd Can Talk / Dressed In Trenches’ when the Chicago trio might have been wise to include footnotes. Their knotty, intriguingly melodic noise calls to mind everyone from Polvo to Archers of Loaf, but fortunately their abrasive approach to interpreting the past 30-odd years of indie-rock ensures that any further reading can wait until after the final note dies out.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
