Irish Basement - post-punk gothic rock from Washington DC

Super catchy! I randomly found this by following similar bands on evil Spotify. They're putting stuff out since 2021.

This one grabbed me straight away


Irish Basement - Waterfalls



It sounds really nicely produced to my ears? Spiky but deep. However I'm wondering if the sound is too perfect on the nose for recent darkwave pop style, will it last or sound overdone and samey in a short time?

They need a better logo, a couple of the graphics look great but lots of them look totally stock.

Anyways, this is a lot of fun and totally doesn't take itself seriously. I love that. I would rage out at a live show of this.

I love it and totally agree = super catchy and I would also rage out to a live show.
