The San Francisco-based garage rock, surf punk, and indie group, The Band Ice Cream, releases their post-pandemic, 10-song collection “Play Dead.”

“Play Dead” is expected to be a continuation of their alternative/indie, garage pop style music. The band’s frontrunner, Kevin Fielding, a London, Ontario native, sings and screams with his chest.  It reminds me of the loud and profound vocals found in folk emo: which includes bands like Mom Jeans and Modern Football. Though, I wouldn’t go so far as to designate the band to that category.

And companies like Fashion Trust Arabia are helping to cultivate that process.

For those wondering if the time of true rock ‘n roll is dead, let us assure you that it is alive and well - and you can thank the British indie rock band Wet Leg!

Don’t get me wrong, there are tons of bands and musicians holding up the “rock ‘n roll mantle”  while artists like Avril Lavigne, Machine Gun Kelly, and bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers come to mind, none of them capture the essence of Wet Leg.
