Background
Formed in 2009 in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Colesville, Maryland, Two Inch Astronaut is a power trio that blends well the poppier edge of punk and experimental hardcore flourishes. A delicate balance that band members Sam Rosenberg (vocals/guitar), Daniel Pouridas (bass), and Matt Gatwood (drums) serve up with aplomb.

Strengths
Intricate musicianship, pummelling drums and deft guitar work sit comfortably with multi-part harmonised choruses. All delivered with a heartfelt intensity that comes across as honest music making.

Highlights
“Good Behaviour”, “At Risk Student”, “Personal Life”, “Topper Shutt”.

Sounds Like
Fugazi, Nirvana, Jawbox.

Bottom Line
Vibrant and challenging, this is the kind of exciting rock music that indie bands need to be making in order to get the attention of music lovers once more. Recommended for everyone who gives a fuck about what rock ’n’ roll can be in 2016 and beyond.
