It’s the dog days of summer, so let’s lean into it with music made for the weather. Stream “Beach” by The Jacklights.

Baby Pink

Maybe it’s just the power of visual suggestion (check out the album cover of charm and mirror), but our highlighted track “Baby Pink” sounds downright tropical.

Bikini BDRK

Massachusetts’ Sapling craft bouncy, danceable punk with solid hooks and uptempo attack. It’s no surprise that they connected the dots to Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill fame on our highlighted track “Bikini BDRK,” off No Sequoia.

Upside Down

Boston’s blindspot crafts electropop dance bangers with enough buzz and churn to please the alternative rock crowd as well.

Beneath

Boston’s Happy Little Clouds drip psych rock in our highlighted track “Beneath,” off Shift.

She’s Outside

Boston’s Gene Dante & The Future Starlets is glampop with a full-barrelled rock n roll attack.
