Threading a line between the heavy rhythms of grunge and swirling melodies of shoegaze into an inspired, modern take on alternative rock is Two Point Oh. The band’s members call Brooklyn, NY and New Jersey home, drawing from the area’s hectic energy. Built to find sonic beauty and derive catharsis from negative experiences, Two Point Oh comes to fruition on their self-titled EP set for release March 14th. The self-release keeps a do-it-yourself force, recorded by the band and then mixed and mastered by Trey Frye of synthpop duo Korine. The fours songs on the EP spread between bright and melancholic, serving as an outlet for those who feel outcasted or alienated to be free to be their most authentic selves.
Two Point Oh has already shared two songs off the release, take off single “Jackie Smile” and “Swallow.” The band share a video for “Jackie Smile” today, introducing the wistful track to a broader audience. Taking influence from bands like Deftones and Third Eye Blind, the track bursts with puncturing guitars while soaring through an earworm chorus. The video for the song, filmed by Aleko Syntelis and edited by Zak Mering, gives off a nostalgic vibe mixed with live footage of the band.
On the track, the band shares:
“Jackie Smile is about nostalgia and looking back on missed connections, thinking about what could have been not only in terms of relationships but also reflecting on lost potential or opportunities. Guilt, paranoia, anxiety surrounding the past.”
