Keep (USA) YEAHRS (DE) Holliday’s Sidekick

Keep
Keep is an alternative rock band from Richmond, VA formed in 2013.They draw heavy inspiration from the shoegaze and grunge sounds of the 90’s, post-2000 indie, and add just a dash of 80’s goth and art rock sensibility. While that may sound a bit like an alphabet soup of influences, Keep’s brilliance lies in their ability to seamlessly blend myriad sounds into something that feels surpassingly cohesive. A riff may conjure Starflyer 59, Hum or Swervedriver. A melody might evoke The Cure or Cocteau Twins. The mood may call Low or Bowery Electric to mind. But while Keep may momentarily remind you of any number of artists you love, Happy In Here always feels like something unique that you’re hearing for the first time.

YEAHRS
Not their first time in OCCII, this shoegaze band had been around for a couple yeahrs (get it). After two great EP’s, they recently finally released their debut album ‘Spiritual Sickness’
“Yeahrs are one of Berlin’s most exciting up-and-coming bands. (…) Part of the shoegaze renaissance that is encompassing the wider musical spectrum, Yeahrs are a loud, feisty and guitar-driven crew. Building on their love for hardcore, heavy rock and dreamy shoegaze, the band recently released a new EP called Transfer.Transform, a thoroughly loud and melodic addition to the Berlin rock scene.Aside from the immediate comparisons to the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Deafheaven, the EP is dazzling mix of catchy choruses, washed-out guitars and lush harmonies”
