New Audio: Silver Relics Share Hook-Driven “Same Old Tune”

Founded by singer/songwriter Alex Sepsis back in 2017, the New York-based indie outfit — Sepassi (vocals, guitar), Garrett De Temple (bass) and Hitomi Nakamura (drums) — quickly established a sound that saw them effortlessl blending classic and modern rock influences that included The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Nirvana on their full-length debut, 2019’s Generic. 

The trio’s latest single “Same Old Tune” was recently released through Brooklyn-based A Diamond Heart Production. The new single sees the band crating a sound that seemingly draws from and blends the Madchester scene, Nirvana and 90s shoegaze while continuing to showcase a band with an unerring knack for incredibly catchy hooks and rousingly anthemic choruses.

New Audio: Silver Relics Share Hook-Driven, Jangle Pop-like “Blood Is Blood”

Founded by singer/songwriter Alex Sepassi back in 2017, New York-based indie outfit Silver Relics quickly established a sound that effortlessly blended classic and modern rock influences that ranged from the likes of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Nirvana on their full-length debut, 2019’s Generic.

The New York-based outfit’s latest single “Blood Is Blood” sees the band gently expanding their sound with the inclusion of jangle pop in a way that reminds me a bit of Montréal-based JOVM mainstays Elephant Stone. And much like Elephant Stone’s work, “Blood Is Blood” is anchored around an uncanny knack for razor sharp, remarkably catchy hooks and smart songwriting. The song’s effortless nature belies a slick yet workman-like craftsmanship.
