The tour essentials for this 3-man band consist in baby powder, aspirins, Q-tips and Morrissey, among other stuff. Nothing to do with their psychedelic sound. These guys from Miami just released their single, Double Vision, from their upcoming self-titled record. Grimy guitars and steady drumming, just what your summer evening needs. More great stuff from Hardly Art.
