Dead Stars resurrect the best parts of the ‘90s with High Gain, a five song EP that mixes the noisy punch of Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth and Pavement with guitars that buzz and fuzz. There’s a bit of Teenage Fanclub’s pop music in the mix, too, proof that these Brooklynites care as much about melodies as riffs.

“With High Gain, we tried to capture the chemistry and energy of the band playing together in the same room,” says Jeff Moore, the trio’s frontman and guitarist. “We recorded everything live to tape with minimal overdubs. All five songs are a direct representation of who we were at that moment. It’s a very raw and honest record.”

Look for High Gain on June 4.
