ABOUT THE GREAT HEIGHTS BAND:
The Great Heights Band’s sophomore effort, rad-pop., is set to be released on April 20 via CI Records. The album brings together a diverse mix of pop, punk, nerd, and indie rock, with nods to a retro aesthetic and good old fashioned rock and roll. After writing and demoing about 50 songs, the band fully recorded the best 18 before finalizing the album’s track listing at 11, with one bonus track each for CD and vinyl.
Throughout the album The Great Heights Band brings in a wide range of influences from the likes of Weezer, The Cure, Gorillaz, Radiohead, ELO, and beyond.The dual vocals of Neal Karkhanis and Eric Taft work in tandem, offering listeners two distinct voices that equally have something to say. The album is sonically diverse and melodically experimental, though always grounded by solid rhythmic grooves provided by bassist Owen Brinser and drummer Paul Martinez. Lyrically, rad-pop. tackles common themes of love and heartbreak, as well as larger topics such as environmental activism and political uncertainty. rad-pop. is an album about growth, love, and finding happiness in a world struggling to find stability. It is fun and introspective, thoughtful, and tongue-in-cheek.
