Today’s song is “You Can Be The Star” by Control Group. Control Group is a new rock combo made up of three lead singers: Darren Korb, Jeremy Parker, and Evan Reynolds. The band’s sound is an awesome combination of nostalgic guitar punk, DIY indie rock, and 90’s pop. Imagine early Dinosaur Jr crossed with Foo Fighters with a bit of The Smiths thrown in.
This is the first single off the Brooklyn group’s debut album Hot Swap, as a follow up to their critically acclaimed EP Shoes of the People. The band will be playing a few gigs this summer in NYC (see dates below).
