Personal & the Pizzas
Every week, Hype Monitor wades through the most buzzed-about bands all across the Internet to find the ones you need to hear now.
The Band: Lacrosse
The Buzz: You cannot stop Sweden. Adorable, boy/girl vocals bound over banging piano and bouncing percussion.
Listen If: You do not want to stop Sweden. Sticky-sweet and irresistible, Lacrosse are a straight shot of summertime pop.
Key Track: “We Are Kids,” a breathless shot of energy tied up by a big, silvery riff.
The Band: Personal & the Pizzas
The Buzz: Crust-Punk Pizza! Personal & Co write gutter-dwelling punk songs with lyrics about, um, pizza.
Listen If: You love the Ramones, have outgrown Weird Al, and your sense of humor is twisted as Little Caeser’s crazy bread.
Key Track: “I Don’t Wanna Be No Personal Pizza,” it’s slimy, grimy riffing and drawling vocals sounding like Iggy Pop… with a serious craving for… yeah… you know the rest.
The Band: Oddisee
The Buzz: Limber lyrics and clean, precise flow characterize this DC producer’s throwback rap tracks.
Listen If: You still hold out hope for a great new De La Soul record, or are considering getting a tattoo that reads “Back in the Day…”
Key Track: “Drugs Outside,” where crisp flow courtesy of rappers Pooh and Black Milk crackles over Oddisee’s bed of humid strings and ambling rhythms.
