Constantly overthinking and drowning in anxiety that causes me to stay in bed and not leave my house. I&#8217;ve spent a lot of time fighting that away, and that&#8217;s basically what this song is about.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Growing up along the coast near the beaches of New Jersey, you&#8217;re naturally imbued with a particular shade of wistfulness, longing and desire. House shows in Long Branch or New Brunswick, late night dutch coffees at the Inkwell, long drives blasting music with no destinations; these experiences spread out across four seasons influence every artist born and raised in the area in varied ways.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more promising upstarts out of central NJ, Lunch Ladies, package these sentiments with a hazy, dreamy, jangle-pop sound that evokes the golden age of Creation Records. Having made a name for themselves in all of the tri-state DIY circles, Lunch Ladies are now readying the release of their debut full-length, Down on Sunset Strip, out March 10th, 2017 via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GoodEyeRecords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Good Eye Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Consisting of Matt Whitley (vox, guitar), Cynthia Rittenbach (vox, bass), Matt Ramiz (vox, guitar) and Peter Gargano (drums), Lunch Ladies foster a creative dynamic that embraces harmony, in its many forms, with the three vocalists trading lead and support duties across the album&#8217;s seven tracks. From the adrenaline rush, ironically, of <em>Lazy<\/em> to the dreamy balladry of <em>Sad Jeans<\/em>, the young quartet explores complex emotions across the breadth of their beautiful aural aesthetic.<\/p>\n<h5 dir=\"ltr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-24515\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15874882_10207946474325123_5723185168879075004_o.jpg?resize=286%2C286\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15874882_10207946474325123_5723185168879075004_o.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15874882_10207946474325123_5723185168879075004_o.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15874882_10207946474325123_5723185168879075004_o.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15874882_10207946474325123_5723185168879075004_o.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15874882_10207946474325123_5723185168879075004_o.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/15874882_10207946474325123_5723185168879075004_o.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"ltr\"><\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"ltr\">&#8216;Down on Sunset Strip&#8217; track list<\/h5>\n<p>01: Sunshine<br \/>\n02: You&#8217;re Not There<br \/>\n03: <a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/2017\/02\/22\/lunch-ladies-release-new-track-love-is-overrated-%ef%bb%bf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Love Is Overrated<\/a><br \/>\n04: Sad Jeans<br \/>\n05: Lazy<br \/>\n06: Bumming Too Much<br \/>\n07: Pick Yourself Up<\/p>\n<h5 dir=\"ltr\">Tour dates<\/h5>\n<p>3\/10 &#8211; The J House &#8211; New Brunswick, NJ (release show)<br \/>\n3\/11 &#8211; Falafull House &#8211; Philadelphia, PA<br \/>\n3\/26 &#8211; The Saint &#8211; Asbury Park, NJ<br \/>\n4\/14 &#8211; Brighton Bar &#8211; Long Branch, NJ<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Lunch Ladies, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LunchLadiesNJ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a> \/\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lunchladies666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a> \/\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lunchladz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a> \/\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/good-eye-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soundcloud<\/a> \/\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/lunchladies.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The NJ-based dream-pop band\u00a0Lunch Ladies\u00a0have released\u00a0the fourth and final single off of their forthcoming debut album, &#8216;Down on Sunset Strip&#8217;.
