Crowd Can Talk/Dressed In Trenches Lifeguard SKU: OLE1953T Barcode: 0191401195317 17.00 £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Matador Released Date: 7th July 2023 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Formed in 2019, Lifeguard are Asher Case (bass, vocals), Isaac Lowenstein (drums, percussion), and Kai Slater (guitar, vocals). At their core, Lifeguard are a punk band. Their music is loud and energetic. They’re also, at their core, visceral and hypnotic. For the Chicago-based trio that can include repetition and blasts of speaker cone-shredding feedback. Their songs adeptly balance melody and chaos, rhythm and drone. Hooks and noise are held to the same standard. Both have to stick. They’re a young band, but they’ve already found a place at the forefront of an important emerging music community in their hometown. They are quite prolific. In just three years, Lifeguard have put out a full-length, two EPs, and two 7” singles. Matador Records release ‘Crowd Can Talk/Dressed In Trenches’, a composite of two EPs by Lifeguard. ‘Crowd Can Talk’ was originally released in the summer of 2022 by Chicago label Born Yesterday, while ‘Dressed In Trenches’ features five brand new and unreleased songs. ‘Crowd Can Talk/Dressed in Trenches’ is being made available to independent retailers on vinyl (for the first time) and CD. ‘Crowd Can Talk’ and ‘Dressed In Trenches’ are closely related. They were recorded in separate sessions, but at the same studio (Electrical Audio), with the same engineer (Mike Lust), and within the space of 12 months. Each finds the band refining their voice – honing songs that are succinct, hooky and propulsive. There’s a newly disciplined attention to detail. Lifeguard write together through collaboration and improvisation, but they’ve learned to streamline their sound, to make each hook, beat, and gesture purposeful. On each record, there are echoes of underground guitar bands from decades past. This is not record-collector music, though. It’s the product of a present- day community. Lifeguard are, first and foremost, a performing band and the songs are written to stand up in that moment. “More than old records – before that, before anything – we’re influenced by live shows and people around us,” explains Slater. “The inspiration comes from playing shows with people and having that mind-blown moment of seeing some friend play at Schubas or Book Club,” adds Lowenstein. “It’s happening on these tiny little scales of seeing kids play live and [knowing] this is something new and interesting.” Artist Lifeguard Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Matador Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Crowd Can Talk New Age (I’ve Got A) I Know I Know Fifty Seven Typecast Dressed in Trenches 17-18 Lovesong Alarm Ten Canisters (OFB) Shutter Shutter Tell Me When Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Soul Asylum Hurry Up And Wait Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Blue Elan Records | 2LP Released 17th April 2020 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soul Asylum Hurry Up And Wait £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Blue Elan Records SKU: BER1251LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 17th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bleached Welcome The Worms Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dead Oceans | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th March 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bleached Welcome The Worms £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dead Oceans SKU: DOC105LP-C1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Have Mercy NUMB Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rude Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th December 2023 £20.00 Select options Have Mercy NUMB £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rude Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th December 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View black midi Schlagenheim Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rough Trade | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 28th June 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders black midi Schlagenheim £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rough Trade SKU: RT0073LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chris Farren Doom Singer Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Polyvinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 4th August 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chris Farren Doom Singer £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Polyvinyl SKU: PRC478LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beach Riot Sub Atomic Party Cool Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alcopop | 1LP Released 17th September 2021 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beach Riot Sub Atomic Party Cool £13.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Alcopop SKU: ALCOPOP224X Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nick Oliveri N.O.
