Start with the song Be Nothing and you’ll hear similarities to The Cure’s Just Like Heaven or the song Clash the Truth and you’ll hear London Calling by The Clash or the song Adversity and you’ll hear There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths. Looking for a record to put on in the background while you read or do work, or how about for when you rigorously work out or need to dance like a maniac, then any Beach Fossils album is the right pick for both moods. The drawn-out keys pair with lead singer Dustin Payseur’s elongated vocals, creating a smooth, harmonious vibration. Outside the realms of the artists Beach Fossils pulls inspiration from, the band is notable because they make that ‘80s dance-rock sound their own with the inclusion of electronic synths.

Photo by Kendall Polidoriīeach Fossils guitarist Tommy Davidson was in a world of his own while ringing out chord after chord. The Brooklyn-based group played a handful of their greatest hits in celebration of their self-titled album release 10 years ago. Like Sonic Youth and The Cure, the group has the ability to get vulnerable and take it down a notch, while also incorporating an expressive garage-punk attitude. They have a vibe that is difficult to put into words-it’s smooth and groovy, but the next moment it’s high energy and loud. The band draws inspiration from the lo-fi pop-rock greats of the ‘80s such as The Cure, The Clash, The Smiths, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, and more. The Pilsen music venue often hosts the best, and most intimate shows of the year within its walls-which are known to offer highly-regarded acoustics.

A mosh pit broke out closer toward the stage as Beach Fossils went through their set. That’s people’s personal connections to music melding right there in the pit, invoking different reactions, and emotions, from all in attendance. That’s the crowd at a Beach Fossils show, with the inclusion of a selective group of folks toward the barricade that is fueled by the music, initiating them to push each other around in a mosh pit frenzy. And then the song ends and you’re left standing there, mind buzzing from what you just heard. You feel weightless as your hips follow your head in constant sway. From the moment the first guitar strum rings out, it’s suddenly as though your body has a mind of its own. Photo by Kendall Polidoriįor those who enjoy music beyond the point of “Hey, I like this,” then you understand how much a good song can vibrate throughout your body-how it forces you to close your eyes and feel each note. Beach Fossils lead singer Dustin Payseur sang with a sore throat and semi-fading voice on night two of their two-day residency at Thalia Hall in Chicago on Oct.
