2nd Grade - Controlled Burn | Audiotree Live

From the creator

Download & stream 2nd Grade on Audiotree Live → https://smarturl.it/AT-2ndGrade Flowery and destructive, Philadelphia-based indie pop band 2nd Grade produces sweet power-pop songs that take a left turn into out-of-control loudness and lo-fi production. The band's sound is a reflection of the generations of rock' n'roll that came before them. Building upon Cold War-era aesthetics like 60s power-pop and the Southern college rock of the Reagan administration, 2nd Grade finds their own voice by pairing honey drenched pop rock with metaphors about defense-funded infrastructure and state-sanctioned violence. Fans and newcomers alike will enjoy 2nd Grade's creative exploration of lyrical themes and the band's commitment to reaching for new touchpoints in rock history. Playing songs from across their discography, 2nd Grade balances saccharine songcraft and happy-go-lucky hooks with paranoiac panache. During 2nd Grade’s interview with Audiotree Host, Psalm One, the band chats about Chicago glizzys, juxtaposition, and musical inspiration. Check out 2nd Grade on Audiotree Live! Recorded live on July 8, 2025 in Chicago, IL.
