Dry Cleaning: “Sit Down Meal”

By: Jack Anderson

At this point in time, if you haven’t heard of Dry Cleaning (outside the world of clothing), we can’t really blame you. Dry Cleaning’s debut EP only came out in mid-August and these South Londoners are already about to pull another one off the rack. It’s incredible that half the band doesn’t have any prior experience, but this actually lends itself to Dry Cleaning’s stripped down, direct brand of alt-rock.

Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks finds Dry Cleaning pressing a bit more texture into their songs, and it’s out October 25th. Dry Cleaning tours the UK over the next couple months, they’ve got plans for a US tour farther in the future, and today they invite you to pull up a chair for the new EP’s closer, “Sit Down Meal”!

Urban Heat: “City Lights” (Live in Studio 1A)

It’s been really cool to see folks we’ve featured as our Artists of the Month advance up into official ACL acts. Yesterday we gave a shoutout to our May 2022 AotM Good Looks and today we move onto Urban Heat. This post-punk three-piece first stopped into Studio 1A back in February to swelter listeners with […]

The dust may still be settling from Weekend One of ACL, but if the past three days of festin’ just weren’t enough for you, we’ve got a whole new batch of recommendations.
