Nodrums – Don’t Wanna Shake Things Up (Self-released) [LOCAL]

According to Burlington singer-songwriter Brayden Baird, aka Nodrums, this EP is supposed to sound “like a bar band [playing] songs most bar bands would never play.” True to that description, the songs here are a collection of lo-fi, echoey indie and alt-country, with low vocals and lyrics ranging from the emotionally forthright to the absurd (“La La La I Love This Song”).
