Petticoat: “Get Loose!”

By: Jack Anderson

At a junction of ’80s-style synth-work, millennium-era R&B, and modern electronic experimentation, L.A. producer David Halsey, better known to the world as Petticoat,  is inching closer and closer to a truly timeless sound. Which is impressive to say the least, considering he’s only in his mid-20s, but that youth has allowed Halsey to overlook some of the restraining factors of retro new wave formulas and instead extrapolate the genre’s finest nuances and appropriate them into poppy, dance floor-ready club bangers.

Well, consider those expectations subverted, ’cause […]

Dad’s Home: “Automatic Reply: No Thanks”

Ever since punk rock took off in the late ’70s, it’s expanded and matured into a ton of subgenres. Its kiddo pop-punk, on the other hand, is more like a Lost Boy from Neverland; it never grew up and that’s the way we like it. So when we look at the robust roster of pop-punk […]
