It's about all the kids who find inspiration in Beach Slang
Ahead of their appearance at Splendour In The Grass next weekend, Philly punks Beach Slang have revealed details of their sophomore album, titled A Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings.
Our cover stars this week, the trio have been riding the wave of their debut The Thing We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us but say this second album is about "the stories of the kids who got turned on to Beach Slang by the first album".
The band's James Alex says, "I’m not that young kid anymore, but I used to be. You know how it is; rock and roll is a new crop of 15-year-olds picking up guitars every year and having at it. There was something really cool about documenting someone else's life, but seeing myself in it. I suppose that’s why we connect. We’re all kind of one big gang.
"What I did feel was a sense of responsibility to the kids who told me they were finding something in our music that brought them back from a bad place, the ones who were getting Beach Slang tattoos and quoting lyrics to me after the shows. I don’t want to let those people down," Alex admits.
