Dust Free Home is the first release of NYC-based post-punk band Rat Palace. After several years cultivating its debut material, the group recorded it in just a few days at Spillway Sound. They began with the debut single “Look My Way,” which Illustrate Magazine writer Naomi Joan describes as having an “atmospheric stupor [further] heightened by sweet and rich vocals, creating a hazy, psychedelic punk soundscape that captivates from start to finish.” Fellow NYC band partygirl is known for its maximalist approach, with each of its six members contributing a unique palette of sounds, from guitarist Francesca Pastore’s pop-punk riffs to saxophonist Jennna Love’s jazz roots to founder and frontwoman Pagona Kytzidis’ Freddie Mercury and Fiona Apple-inspired alto vocals. Partygirl currently has several singles out ahead of the release of its debut album I’m so charming, I forgot who I was. Joining Rat Palace and partygirl on their Athens stop are heavy and melodic Savannah-based trio Basically Nancy and local noise and post-punk band All Gods.
