Artist: The Indiana Drones

Track: “New Chemical”

Released 1-24-2025

Monkey canción de The Indiana Drones de The Indiana Drones [Explicit] en Amazon Music.

The Indiana Drones are still very much unknown (less than 12k Spotify listeners), but you wouldn’t know it from their sound. Indie-rock infused with huge melodies front-to-end is the name of the game on their self-titled debut LP, and “New Chemical” shines the brightest of the bunch. It manages to make lines like “we’re all slowly dying anyway” sound inspirational; it’s a call to live in the present, with fervor. The song reaches its emotional zenith in the last half minute or so, when the distorted guitars wrap around lead singer Justin Zuccato’s emphatic refrain. It’s a moment well-worth exploring if you enjoy the alt/rock-ier side of the indie underground.

Revamped the rating system because there's no point in highlighting/recommending/playlisting 1-2 star songs.

lol but it would be fun to see you spotlight just an absolute dogshit song

This song is fun, reminds me of a lot of radio rock from the late 90's/early 2000's. Probably won't stick with me like Lookin at the geese did, but it's a decent little tune.

Agreed, going by the new system of 3-5 stars its a 3. Worth checking out, but not necessarily super special. I also found it to be mostly just fun/enjoyable, it'll be nice to have it come up on shuffle in December when this playlist is larger. So far Eckhaus Latta and Geese are my favorites and the only 4 star inclusions.
