Best New Rock – Color Palette, Casual Drag, Big Sleep

Color Palette caught our attention with their new single Zombie. Thankfully its not a tired Cranberries cover. Zombie is an explosive indie rock statement. It slaps you in its first moments before whiplashing with danceable precision. Color Palette isn’t afraid to be catchy. They find the middle ground between The Strokes and something heavier. We can dig it.

Casual Drag gets dirty on The Master. Bit cracking fuzz wears your speakers on this inspired post punk tirade. Its refreshingly unconventional and slightly abstract. Its a testament to how they play their instruments and the slightly off tune precision they employ in their sound. It’s crazy effective, paying homage to punks early heroes while connecting with modern breakthroughs like Idles or Fontaines DC. Get into it.

Big Sleep embraces the vibe on their new single Crude. A burned out ethos gets caught up in a sentimental sonnet. The band responds in tandem, altering elegantly with progressive surprise. Its altogether clever with unassuming quip. You hear it in the lounge bred bassline and in the effected guitar ideas. Stylistically its got the charm of The Libertines or Arctic Monkeys with some modern indie slacker brilliance. Super cool!
