Chicago’s The Bingers will release their debut LP, ‘Stay Satisfied‘, on April 21st via Tall Pat Records. Self-recorded by the band to tape on an old 8-track, it features a gritty, fuzzed-out mix of surf and garage-rock made up of two guitars & drums.
The band have shared Simone, the album’s most pop-leaning track and one that captures their fun, laid-back nature. You can take a listen to the track via Soundcloud below.
Made up of brothers Ronnie & Teddy and longtime friend Jack, The Bingers have learned to make the best of a unique band dynamic: all three started out primarily as guitar players and songwriters, each with their own style and arsenal of material. Taking a cue from bands like the Oblivians and The Gories, they decided to switch roles throughout their sets, and they share songwriting duties and approach vocals as a group effort.
‘Stay Satisfied’ is the result of an inspired jam session that saved the band from calling it quits after a long hiatus. Its title addresses the numerous compromises they’ve had to make in order to achieve a cohesive sound from three different minds, but it’s also good advice for the current state of things: while it’s tough to stay positive in spite of the constant barrage of bad news, it’s important that we all take time out — and let ourselves be distracted with good news from time to time — in order to feel ok.
