Echosmith @ Howard 11/11

By: Elizabeth Adams

Echosmith’s Cool Kids: The Decade Tour is heading to Washington DC’s Howard Theatre on November 11th. Formed in Chino, California in 2006, the indie pop band consists of siblings Sydney, Noah, and Graham Sierota. Their single “Cool Kids” reached the top of the charts in 2014 and the band gained immense popularity. This song, along with other hits like “Bright” and “Over My Head” are inspired by ‘80s groups such as The Smiths and draw upon themes of embracing individuality. Echosmith’s newest self-titled album displays the band’s growth through their more mature vocals and lyrical content, but draws back to their signature synth-wave production and indie pop sound.

Slowpulp @ Howard 11/17

By: Hyewon Sung

Indie rock band Slow Pulp brings their dreamy, emotionally charged sound to the historic Howard Theater on November 17. Fronted by Emily Massey and backed by childhood friends Teddy Mathews, Alex Leeds, and Henry Stoehr, the band blends shoegaze, dream pop, and grunge into an atmospheric and immersive live experience. Their sophomore album, Yard, has been praised for its vulnerable lyrics and lush instrumentals, and their performances are equally captivating. Focusing on themes of isolation and learning to be comfortable with the self, listeners are able to connect with the band’s songs off the album.
