EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: The Subjects - Winter Vacation
When a band has an origin story like The Subjects’—two high-school teachers plus two of their students form a band, more scandalous than cats and dogs living together in sin—you might think that at some point they’d begin to shy away from school-related topics in their songs. And…you’d be wrong. “Winter Vacation,” from the new Subjects’ EP, New Soft Shoe, is a classic indie-pop nugget with harmonies that hit the skies even as a chugging guitar line stays rooted in the earth. A winter vacay might also be what the band is looking forward to after a busy year of touring, including an upcoming run of dates with Bad Veins, which you may find after the break, and after you hit REPEAT on the tune a few times.
