New Wave Hot Dogs

Yo La Tengo

Scrappy, high-energy indie rock with a basement-tape soul. A nervous blend of Velvet Underground jangle and early noise-pop grit.

Find on Amazon

It's like the Velvet Underground moved to New Jersey and drank too much coffee.

A nervous, high-strung energy that balances melodic sweetness with basement-born grit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden eruption of feedback that punctures the melodic jangle of House Fall Down
The driving, insistent bassline on Did I Tell You that feels like a nervous heartbeat
The way the vocals on Lewis sit perfectly flat against the jagged guitar chords
