For the first video from our three-band PALS Clubhouse release, We give you a double whammy of feel-good rock and roll from And And And.
The dirty opening riff that drives the song only hits harder as the song sails on with a three guitar attack and Nathan Baumgartner’s gravelly vocals almost turning into a scream.
Hammering drums and fiery guitar solos fade out for the next, slightly more mellow number, “Idiot.” Through each verse, Nathan tells a story of internal struggles between self respect and self hate over gentle guitar plucking, while each chorus erupts into beautiful distortion and heavy rock.
A must see, check it out!

So freakin’ rad…the music, at times, has a kind of revivalist-tinge to it, a la Brian Jonestown Massacre, with the vocals/lyrics exhibiting a sort wistful, euphoric naiveté, but not one without an earnest quality as well, which kinda brings to mind Dr. Dog – one is sucked in by those and other welcome familiarities, but all the while, its still totally its own original vibe and sensibility…
