Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Perfect power pop purism from Philly packed with dreamy college road trip singalongs and lo-fi noise - we don’t deserve music this catchy in 2023! With support from loveable emo-folk-punk trio Toodles & The Hectic Pity, expect sincere jangly smiles FFO: Big Star, Tony Molina, Guided By Voices, Teenage Fanclub, Remember Sports."

Ringing from hi-fi headphones and blown-out boombox speakers alike comes the overloaded guitar genius of Easy Listening, a record of rock ‘n’ roll daydreams and terminal boredom, and 2nd Grade’s long awaited second LP on Double Double Whammy. Like a blue slushy on a hot day, Easy Listening is a sweet respite. Like the Blue Angels touching down on the Las Vegas Strip, Easy Listening is impossible to ignore. And like a janitor mopping up beer on the floor of the Hollywood Palladium in 1972, hours after the Rolling Stones have finished “Ventilator Blues” and climbed onto the bus,Easy Listening knows the glory and cost of escapism, abandon, and the soul of rock ‘n’ roll. Philadelphia’s 2nd Grade is a band both obsessed with and worthy of rock stardom, and Easy Listening proves their status as virtuosos of the power pop renaissance.
