Lazyeyes and fellow Brooklynites The Teen Age (yes, another 'teen band') are heading out on tour tomorrow.
Flood Magazine recently shared Lazyeyes' "Fractals" (taken from their New Year EP) via Soundcloud.
As for The Teen Age, Justina saw them at Northside Festival 2014 in New York and wrote, "Seriously locally based (the lead singer lives down the street), The Teen Age plays fast-paced, punk rock music with a wave of surf rock mixed in. Their catchy hooks remind me of The Hives, but are combined with fairly low-key singing. Even in the small space, the band moved around and gave off a lot of contagious energy."

Texas' This Will Destroy You (often abbreviated to TWDY) will be doing a small Midwest tour next week, starting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in support of their latest album Another Language (Suicide Squeeze Records), which reached #7 on Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart when it was released last September. The Boston Globe described the latest release as, "Blending the intensity of doom metal with the fragility of shoegaze, the music burns slowly, shifting from ambient to turbulent and back."
We previously saw TWDY at 7th Street Entry in 2011, and was surprised to learned that they were an all-instrumental band: "I didn't know This Will Destroy You was an all-instrumental band. I should have seen it coming when the stage was cleared and there were no microphones."
Supporting TWDY will be The Velvet Teen (yes! another 'teen' band), who I actually though broke up when drummer Logan Whitehurst died from cancer and bassist Josh Staples left the band in 2007. Glad to see that the trio is back now. The Velvet Teen's latest All Is Illusory came out on June 30, 2015.
TWDY's Tour Dates:
7.24.15 - Varsity Theater - Minneapolis, MN *
7.25.15 - High Noon Saloon - Madison, WI *
7.27.15 - Subterranean - Chicago, IL **
* w/ The Velvet Teen
** w/ Pink Avalanche
