We're very hype to have Ekko Astral on the roster with their new song "baethoven"! These DC punks bring crashing drums, fuzzed-out guitar riffs, and a bewitching + frantic voice to our roster 💥
On their new standalone single "baethoven", the rising D.C.-based band Ekko Astral immediately grab your attention with a sense of verve, vitality, and uncontrollable excitement. Lead vocalist and frontwoman Jael Holzman set out to make a funhouse mirror song that's all about the pain of being yourself and having a larger than life personality in a nation that wants to downsize you. With crashing drums seared with a piercing momentum, fuzzed-out guitar riffs, and Holzman's biting and energetic vocal delivery, Ekko Astral locks you into the band's vigorous spirit in just under three minutes.
"Jael Holzman and her bandmates in Ekko Astral-guitarists Liam Hughes and Sam Elmore, bassist Guinevere Tully, and drummer Miri Tyler-pull together threads from post-punk, no-wave and queercore into a raucous punk palette they've dubbbed mascara mosh pit"
