5 Day Forecast: W1V3

Wednesday ∆ Bad Suns - Cardiac Arrest

Those of you who listen to Alt Nation on Sirius XM radio may have heard this song by Woodland Hills, CA band Bad Suns before. Yes, it was featured on that station recently. Alt Nation is becoming a mainstream source for hip restaurants and teenage kids. However, it still puts forth some good indie music that obviously hasn't reached the charts yet. 

This song has 30,000 plays on soundcloud (at the time I'm writing this) which isn't as much as other songs that Alt Nation has advertised such as Paris by Magic Man (coming in at 370,000 plays). I actually like this song, though the vocals take on that generic new wave of "we have the capability of making it mainstream with our 'indie hits'" vibe. However, they are still very inviting and well, pretty good to say the least. 

The drums move the track along with their "bigger" sound accompanied with the bass grooves and guitar chords intermixed with some clean melodies. The chorus "I try my best (blah blah) cardiac arrest" (though I don't fully know the lyrics, it is really catchy, and I like it). It makes the song memorable. 

Ultimately, if you like bands such as St. Lucia, Atlas Genius, and Bastille, that carry those vibes that can make it in the mainstream then this song is for you. Or if you like songs that have a pretty nice upbeat feel and crisp memorable melodies well, you're in luck because this also may be the song for you.
