Late ’90s alternative rock was having difficulty finding its footing in the twilight hours of the grunge movement. However, the sound, unmistakably influenced by the skyward melodies forged by alternative pioneers the Replacements, seems to have thrived beyond those days of tape players and mixtapes. Beach Slang, a guitar, bass, and drum trio from Philadelphia, are waving their heart-on-sleeve alternative rock flag proudly. “Filthy Luck” harnesses the sweet melancholic rasp of the Replacements’ “Answering Machine” and cranks up the intensity with some solid snap punches, palm muted pauses, and rampant earworm distortion. Beach Slang should be on every reckless summer adventure playlist.

“Filthy Luck” is the opening track from Beach Slang’s forthcoming 7″, Who Would Ever Want Anything So Broken—out this summer via Dead Broke Rekerds.
