Bad/rough band name aside, Vomitface hit some good notes with us on this track.

Bad/rough band name aside, Vomitface hit some good notes with us on this track.

Jared Micah (vocals/guitar) and Preetma Singh (drums) call themselves “black-surf avant-grunge sludge-pop” and have been buzzing around the NYC scene since 2014’s Another Bad Year EP which we haven’t heard but hope doesn’t suck.

Either way, for those curious, we get tons of press releases and we actually read most of them and this is proof. If you don’t see us writing about your band/press release, that should give you a hint.

So yea, check out Vomitface’s “Senior Pictures” below:

And here’s a video of the band from last year, the possibly well named “NEVER MAKE IT”:

There’s a lot to recognize in these tracks which should be enjoyable for folks who remember Nirvana, the Pixies and Pre-green album Weezer.

Check out more from Vomitface here and you can pre-order their new/first full length Hooray For Me, released on Help Yourself Records here.
