Are we playing a band twice in one episode? We sure are! The Paranoyds have two songs on the playlist – “Freak Out” and “BWR.” For the first track, they said their sound is ‘sort of like if Devo and The Breeders had a baby, and that baby’s aunt and uncle were Sonic Youth and the B-52’s’ but we hear early Blondie. On “BWR,”   they explain the fuzzy jam is inspired by feeling stuck in an endless routine for so long, daydreams no longer feel special or significant–they’ve just become the norm.

Listen to their songs on WHOOOSH!

Ego Apartment are from Japan but there wasn’t a lot of information out there for us to find. All the band members (2 guys, one girl) were born in 1998 and they’re a very cool, alternative leaning outfit. Of “REACH!” and all the songs off their debut album they say, “We began writing these songs before deciding on a particular theme for the album, so in that sense, you could say that this is a sound that we could only express at this point in time.”
