Over the gentle lull of the tide, you can hear the warm sounds of surf, ska, reggae and chip. You watch the musical notes float by. Slime Girls are playing in the distance and their debut EP is the chiptune soundtrack to your summer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that pretty much sums &#8217;em up. hahaha Sound somewhat like <a href=\"http:\/\/anamanaguchi.com\/\">Anamanguchi <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/revengineers.bandcamp.com\/\">The Revengineers<\/a> (soaring electric guitars, crashing drums, LSDJ leads &amp; bass<em>)<\/em>, but definitely have enough of their own sound to stand out; more of a surf rock\/guitar sound than the aforementioned bands, which is something I could enjoy hearing a lot more of (well, that and <a href=\"http:\/\/smiletron.bandcamp.com\/album\/elevation\">Chipblues<\/a>! <em>GOD I LOVE CHIPBLUES~~ ).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So yeah, check &#8217;em out when you get a chance. =)\u00a0<em>SAY FOR INSTANCE THIS MONDAY NIGHT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/452107308152438\/\">AT THEIR LISTENING PARTY <\/a>DURING THE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Nerdyjunkfood\/139095082818016\">NERDYJUNKFOOD<\/a> SHOW ON ARECIBORADIO aka Listening Party Radio!! \u00a0<\/em>Will be good times for sure, as it always is; and the more, the merrier, so come!
