Description
BEACH SLANG's second full-length is a crash-and-thunder collection of songs about what it takes to keep yourself going, to make it through the rest of the night "hell, through the rest of your youth" and beyond.
Frontman James Alex wrote much of A Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings on their first album's support tour, during which he spent a lot of time with the kids who'd picked up the record.
A lot of the songs [on Loud Bash] are the stories of the kids who got turned on to Beach Slang by the first album, says Alex.
They're autobiographical, too, but kind of at a remove"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 elses life, but seeing myself in it.
I suppose that's why we connect.
We're all kind of one big gang.
