Daydreaming from Minneapolis' own Murder Shoes sounds exactly like what you'd think they'd sound like… except better! Soulful female vocals over thick guitar riffs bring to mind a better time of jelly shoes and bad ass rock.
Your Friend Kimmie [Explicit]A plodding, spacious track that still feels vital and immediate. The verse sections are very spare, but the chorus opens into a powerful beat and big guitars.Pop/Rock · 146 BPM · C major3:50
So What MayThis track is upbeat and infectious while being a bit dark and moody. This could easily be out of time capsule from late 80's and early 90's alt rock.Pop/Rock · 146 BPM · G major2:13

NineteeneightyoneA strummed acoustic guitar is joined by a simple alt-rock guitar riff. The chorus isn't an obvious turn to a comfortable phrase, but is instead a continuation of the unsettled feeling of the verse.Pop/Rock · 152 BPM · D major2:14

SecretsAn off kilter drum beat is accomanied by swirling guitars. The solo is messy, loud, and a bit unsettling before breaking into all out, uncontrolled feedback.Pop/Rock · 124 BPM · E minor3:44

Girls Named Benji [Explicit]Dark, moodyâ--¦but playful. Another track from Murder Shoes that could have been a New Wave or alt hit on another timeline.Pop/Rock · 144 BPM · B minor2:43
Little Lost [Explicit]A powerful guitar riff pushes this song forward, and sometimes breaks into a fist pumping caucophony before devolving into feedback and dissonance.Pop/Rock · 117 BPM · E minor3:06
Reefer and Pizza [Explicit]This song is called Reefer and Pizza. That's sort of what it sounds like. Or so I'm told.Pop/Rock · 98 BPM · A major2:35
