TRACK OF THE WEEK: "I Can't Stop" By Sharp Pins (Lifeguard)

This is hella good. Sounding like a mix of early Clean and Twin Peaks, this is the first new single from Sharp Pins for 2025. The band is a project of Kai Slater from Lifeguard and the band's tunes are as sharply realized as those of Lifeguard, even if the genre is a bit different.

Kai sums up "I Can't Stop" better than I can:

"Well The song was written and recorded in about 35 minutes cuz i had to go to band practice and just wanted to get everything down but ended up getting super tied to it, i think its kind of inspired by home-punk music like laurice or peter jeffries or cleaners from venus, more dubby + dancey, video was done in my room with a clip on lamp and some fabrics from joanne and a guitar i stole from jack in answering machines"

Radio DDR by Sharp Pins will be out on March 21. Details below.
