Lifeguard, the highly promising young Chicago trio, have a rad new single out today. The A-side is an original called “Ministry / Energie,” while the B finds Lifeguard covering the Wipers’ “Telepathic Love.” Both tracks were recorded with No Age’s Randy Randall in LA, and both brilliantly capture Lifeguard’s combination of bracing energy, sharp-edged rhythm, and post-punk melody. Hear them below, where you’ll also find Lifeguard’s tour dates, including some with our newest Band To Watch, Font.
