Chicago-Youth-Beat (to Dance to)
Formed in 2019, Lifeguard are Asher Case (bass, vocals), Isaac Lowenstein (drums, percussion), and Kai Slater (guitar, vocals). At its core, Lifeguard is a punk band. Their music is loud, energetic, visceral and hypnotic, the songs adeptly balance melody and chaos, rhythm and drone. Hooks and noise are held to the same standard. Both have to stick.
On July 7th, Matador Records will release two EPs by Lifeguard, each finds the band refining its voice – honing songs that are succinct, hooky, and propulsive. . Crowd Can Talk (initially released in the summer of 2022 by Born Yesterday) and Dressed in Trenches (featuring five brand new and unreleased songs.) Both will be made available on vinyl for the first time (A and B-sides of a 12”) and also on CD. They were recorded in separate sessions, but at the same studio (Electrical Audio) and with the same engineer (Mike Lust) and within the space of 12 months.
