Adventures in Indie: Unrest

Filed under: Indie Music — Tags: — partydad @ 2:18 pm

Hey there, EF readers! It’s me, Party Dad, checking in once again to share another one of my favorite bands with whoever wants to listen. This week I kinda felt like taking things out of straight-up dance music mode and delving into my other True Music Love: indie-pop!

There are a lot of ups and downs to being an obsessive music fan. You’ll spend months meticulously researching a particular band or genre, tracking down and paying exorbitant amounts for rare 7-inches and LPs, reading even the most minuscule paragraph-long blog post found ten pages into a Google search on your subject, only to have your interest evaporate almost completely once you find a new obsession to pursue. Then, there are those bands that, for whatever reason, seem to stick with you no matter what. These are the true favorites, and for me no band typifies this type of band/fan relationship quite like cult indie legends Unrest!

“So Sick”
members (l-r): Phil Krauth, Mark Robinson, Bridget Cross

If you like what you hear (and how could you not?), I have plenty more to say about this amazing band, plus more clips to check out, after the jump!
