Sometimes I get sad the 2000s are over. Alt rock saw its resurgence prime with bands like The White Stripes, The Starting Line, and The Vines. A lot of that talent came from British acts, but America had plenty of excellent contributions. It’s been a decade now since most of those bands’ hits rode the charts, but there’s a new contender in town who’s ready to give them a run for their money, and chances are we’re going to be listening to them all summer. Introducing Heyrocco.

South Carolina trio Heyrocco will be releasing their debut LP, Teenage Movie Soundtrack, on June 2 via Old Flame Records. The fitting title encapsulates their angst-fueled, ’90s pop, ’00s rock sound. Lead single “Elsewhere” takes a hold of that nostalgic sound and lets childhood friends and bandmates Nathan Merli, Christopher Cool, and Tanner Cooper play to a blue backdrop that places glitchy shot over another lo-fi one. It’s unapologetic melodic rock that’s exactly what you didn’t know you were looking for. Give it a listen below:
