Outside of the empirical truism that ‘Bad Art & Weirdo Ideas’ is an amazing song title (and that’s not even arguable), Beach Slang are a study in certain contrasts and other constant consistencies. Lead singer James Alex fronts a punk act chiefly constructed of members half his age, and for all of his lyrical angst, his spins around the block have brought some noted success.

There have been seriously noted (and politely discussed) brushes with the law, the band has broken up onstage and requested immediate refunds for the audience, and yet, somehow, they not only continue — but manage to wax prolific. I chose The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us not because it was their current record (it isn’t), but because it seemed to be the exclamation point on a band recklessly rising toward something. Or maybe rising beyond something.

Tune in and find out what that is exactly.
