16 Underground Unleash Trippy Trip-Hop Revival on Debut EP

The LA band's members, mostly from the punk and hardcore world, are making dizzy, sunny tracks with wispy vocals and breakbeat loops that sound both extremely '90s and right-now.

Their new EP, Without A Trace, is a game-changer in the ongoing shoegaze revival. With its bright, textured soundscapes and hypnotic beats, it's an album that will transport you to another dimension.

The 16 Underground phenomenon raises questions about genre-bending and the power of experimentation in music. Can a band seamlessly blend punk, hardcore, and trip-hop to create something entirely new? Their answer is a resounding yes.
