iTunes Single of the Week
Cardiac Arrest
Bad Suns
The wailing guitars radiating from
this Southern California-based outfit would play well alongside the galactic
alt-rock of bands like The 1975 and The Vaccines. Culled from Bad Suns’ lushly
produced EP Transpose, “Cardiac
Arrest” showcases the foursome’s incredible musicality, from Gavin Bennett’s
watertight funk-flavored baseline to Christo Bowman’s emotive, new wave-tinged
vocals.
