I reviewed the great debut album from Club Night, a band that sounds like a lot of other bands I like but also sounds very much like themselves

Club Night: What Life

The Oakland quintet’s debut album is a spirited indie-emo blend driven by intricate underlying themes, channeling a slew of influences even as it exists in a space of its own.
