Ledges Release Show/'80s Night with Corey Kilgannon/BADBADBADBADBAD
When: Sat., July 1, 8 p.m. 2017
For tonight's release show, the Akron band Ledges decided to adopt an '80s theme because "that's the era that inspired the aesthetic" of its new album, The band encourages patrons to wear '80s outfits; after the set, they'll DJ an '80s dance party. Jittery tunes such as "Allright" have a retro-leaning vibe to them and recall like-minded acts such as Cold War Kids and Young the Giant. The group recorded the album, which won't be available on digital platforms until later in the summer, at Nashville's Ocean Way Studios, the same studio used by acts such as Bright Eyes and Kings of Leon.
