Oftentimes, in the world of music, you will see artists who will always play it safe in order to maintain their position on the trends—they will release generic genres, overproduced pieces, and all too familiar sounds for the audience to consume. But from the perspective of the listeners, we kept on asking for more—for a new and authentic sound, for something thrilling—and that is where the band Baydream stands out. This rock band who brings in an indie rock sound infused with alternative hip-hop in their musicality brings you in with their unique and strikingly new pieces! “Punk House,” their latest EP released on October 24th this year, is an 8-track collection of music infused with love, emotions, and chill vibes in general. It is an invitation for the world to stop and listen—for this band is about to take the lead.
“Baydream” has built its musical career from scratch to greatness and they are known for their refreshing views and innovative vision when it comes to music. The character of their music is solidly anchored toward indie rock and alternative genres. With “Punk House,” they have yet again stepped up to take the challenge to give the fans something new that is both great-sounding, chill, and thought-provoking. This is an intimate journey for the listeners to partake in; it is intimate and relatable yet very universal, a sound that evokes nostalgia through laidback vibes in the form of songs.
Opening strong for this EP is “Forever,” a rich and upbeat track that sets a chill and easygoing tone for the whole collection. Its smooth beats and vocals laced with synths and effects add character to the entire track. In this EP, Baydream had his signature free-flowing type of laidback delivery for its vocals, making the sounds very easy and casual. Then, “Blockbuster” comes in with its lively drums and guitar riffs. From the get-go, you will know that this is a fun track because of the way the song is structured with the interlacing sounds that create a sense of chaos in production, which perfectly projects the lively and fast-paced moments on a blockbuster night or situation.
“Seasons|Power” brings us back to the chill beats and synths, and the consistency of this track is what will really hook you into it. “Drugs” is the type of song that has the potential to become a trend on social media platforms such as TikTok because of its upbeat sound that induces fun and good vibes. It’s a happy day on a vacation or some sunny days on a beach, a type of fun. Again, it has a catchy tone and undeniably great melody, and stands out amongst other must-listen tracks like “Baseline,” “Heart Bleach,” “End Time, End War,” and “Water Find Fire.”
Punk House by Baydream is a perfect sound that blends dynamic textures of indie rock, alternative rock, chill fun hip-hop sound, and lively pop. It is a perfect mesh of elements that emphasizes the skills and meticulous focus that the artist has had in making this quality production that gives fun, chill, and liveliness to the listeners. “Punk House” not only shines through its melodies and fun tones but also through its well-crafted structure and detailed production.
