Check out these new releases this week, and don't forget to spot acts on Bandcamp as well, where artists will be able to get 100% of their sales every first Friday of the month.


Cheats - 'Daze'

BANDWAGON TV

Cheats are giving the first look into their upcoming EP with the release of their latest single 'Daze,' which was written while the band was in quarantine. 

Jim Bacarro tells Bandwagon about the song, "Wrote the song feeling bummed out that I couldn’t join the band when they went out one night. Originally it was me dealing with the fear of missing out. But then the quarantine happened and I rewrote the second half of the song. Enzo and I did a Zoom call and jammed the song 'live.' I sent him a guitar track and vocal and I watched him play drums. It was weird. I realized there really is a new normal and therefore new ways of finding comfort in these strange times."
