Beach SlangA Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings

In the space of just a few years, Beach Slang has gone from frontman James Alex’s bedroom solo project to a festival staple around the world. A seemingly endless tour schedule got them there, and it seems fitting that A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings—their second album and first since their life on the road got permanent—is tighter and more direct than The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us. Yes, the melodrama and melancholy is still there, but it’s more focused in its form.

If you like classic Beach Slang, opener Future Mixtape For the Art Kids and Hot Tramps will be right up your alley. If you want something a bit fresher, try Art Damage and Atom Bomb. Like the mixtapes of cover songs Alex sends out to fans, A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings has a song for everyone who likes emotional indie rock. We’re all in luck.
