Lanterns. are a new band that I will be working with for Beartrap. They hail from San Diego, CA and play an infectious and fuzzy blend of indie/punk rock. The band creates a remarkable mixture of noisy pop and angular punk. Lanterns. possess a strange familiarity although I am struggling to pinpoint reference points. Mattison pointed out some vocal similarity to Interpol and I can see that. I think comparisons to Les Savy Fav and The North Atlantic are fairly close. Perhaps a bit of Archers of Loaf as well. Either way, the band’s brand new Apocalypse Youth EP is absolutely fantastic and I can’t wait for more people to get to hear it! Check these boys out!
