Beach Slang are amazing! The closest thing I’ve heard to The Replacements’ scuzzy laid back charm in a long, long while. They’ve released two EPs in America and both are compiled here on a single orange 12″ LP here in the UK on the ever marvellous Big Scary Monsters label.

For fans of: Jawbreaker, Gaslight Anthem and Cheap Girls

Pitchfork: “Everywhere you turn, breathless rhythms crash headlong into blaring, yearning leads, a perfectly outsized complement to the widescreen, fucked-up-and-loving-it sentiments” “It’s a goddamn shame that no radio station is going to give this the kind of airplay it deserves”

Noisey: “So it’s not inaccurate to call Beach Slang a “buzz band” given how quickly they caught fire and became media darlings. But unlike many buzz bands, Beach Slang really does live up to the hype”

“With the excitement built around it, we’re just going to go ahead and say it: Beach Slang is the best new band of the year. And we’re not afraid to call “first” on that”

Compressed Manic: “Cheap Thrills On A Dead End Street features four dark, moody, and catchy as fuck songs that’s an absolute must listen for fans of Daylight, Pity Sex, and Jawbreaker”

No Echo: “They’ve got the somber honesty and feeling of emo, the catchiness of pop-punk, and the powerful surge of the best ’90s alternative rock—all adding up to 11 minutes of sheer perfection”

“I encourage you to please listen for yourself, ’cause literally everything about this EP is fucking incredible. I’m far beyond enthusiastic here: I completely flip out and lose my mind over shit like this! I’m already dying to hear more, so I can’t recommend this enough”

Already Heard: “Of course, with the EP reigning in after only the fourth track, it’s simply a small sample of the ability that the band possess. However, Beach Slang have certainly showed off their musical talent with this release, and have shown plenty of promise for the future.”
