Indie Rock Superfans Smash Mouth Love Car Seat Headrest
Although Smash Mouth’s new single would indicate that they’ve been listening to a lot of EDM lately, their social media presence tells a different story. Back in June, the ’90s hitmakers took to Twitter to praise Parquet Courts’ Human Performance single “Berlin Got Blurry,” and now fellow Stereogum favorites Car Seat Headrest are the latest indie rock act to earn the prestigious Smash Mouth cosign for their song “Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales.” Behold this incredible Twitter interaction:
@carseatheadrest One of the best songs of 2016 point blank!

I don’t know about you guys, but I really love the idea of Steve Harwell rocking out to Parquet Courts and CSH.
