Just after the release of their last album my pals Ra Ra Riot and I played a show together in our second home Syracuse, NY. They told me about a recent Daytrotter session they had recorded and how the extra time was used to do a "punk rock" version of the song "Boy." It unfortunately didn't make the cut for their session but when they asked me to remix a track I thought that was a brilliant idea so I took a stab at what that might have sounded like.
Check out the remix and purchase their excellent album The Orchard, out now on Barsuk Records.

A catchy jangle-rock concept album from the Chicago band, inspired by one of the most unbelievable jailbreaks of the 21st century so far. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 13, 2022
More feel-good indie from Brooklyn's A Great Big Pile of Leaves, all bristling guitar tones and expansive choruses. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 18, 2021
The latest from Sonny Smith's long-running San Francisco outfit is clever and very sweet and more than a little bit country. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 3, 2021
