A Chicago band that moves from bright guitar hooks to more reflective spaces.
If you want the classic Varsity feel, put on 'Cult Of Personality'. For something quieter, try 'Flower'.
Listen to the jumpy guitar riff that opens 'Cult Of Personality' or the steady pulse under 'Amanda' and you hear a band that knows how to build a song around a simple, effective idea. They've got a knack for writing melodies that stick without trying too hard. The video for 'Flower' shows them playing in what looks like a basement, which feels about right for their sound.
Their earlier songs like 'Smash' and 'Downtown' have a faster, more direct energy. Later tracks such as 'Turns Out' and 'C. 2002' settle into a slower, more measured pace.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
