Holy underwater Motown magic fireworks. The Dashing Suns. I’ll be damned. This seductively sunny little intersection of every band the ’60s and ’70s ever loved is really making my morning with its scratchy guitars, ooh-ahh Caramello vocals and vintage head cold production value. Monkees, Modern Lovers and Troggs! Definitely sounds more like something you’d discover in your mom’s leftover Creedence records than on the Internet. The Dashing Suns are a four-piece out of Oakland, California, and they certainly deliver on all that West Coast promise laid out by The Beach Boys, The Mamas & Papas and so on and so forth. Jangly and irresistible, their fuzzy pop fantasies reek of post-prom oceanside campfires. A fact which, in combination with their recent run at SXSW, all but guarantees that they won’t go unsigned much longer. For more on The Dashing Suns at SXSW, keep an eye on Jansport — the classic backpack company is using The Dashing Suns’ “Future Thunder” to promote their insanely cool new Heritage Series. As part of the promotion, they followed the band on a road-trip/mini-tour from Oakland to Austin, filming concerts, car drama and everything in between. When that goes live, we’ll be sure to share it with you here. I’m expecting plenty of solar flare and sepia tone. Definitely something to look forward to! Listen to The Dashing Suns here. “I Wanna Run” is getting all the attention, but I’m a pretty big fan of “When I First Met Ya” and “Future Thunder.” Highly recommended for fans of The Black Lips, The Strokes and summertime.

The Dashing Suns' self titled EP is great. Do you remember when critics insisted that The Strokes sounded like The Velvet Underground, The Clash and Television but you weren't completely convinced because to you, they just sounded like The Strokes? Well if were disheartened in the least that The Strokes didn't satisfy your expectations for an excellent mesh of those awesome bands, look no further than The Dashing Suns. "I Wanna Run" is sung much in the same vein as "Marquee Moon" by Television with a steady drum beat and great guitars to match. "Just A Moment" sounds like the song that new band The Soft Pack have been trying to write. In short, it's a great EP and makes me hopeful for a full length release.
