Based out of Los Angeles, RACES (formerly Black Jesus) blends bits of psych-rock, indie-pop, and even a little country twang for music that’s one moment guitar-driven and rollicking, and the next brimming with intense emotion and poppy hooks. The wild, but charming songs on the band’s Frenchkiss Records debut, Year Of The Witch, are further highlighted by frontman Wade Ryff’s raspy-textured, yearning vocals. /// Featured song: “Hope And Gloom” /// Year Of The Witch is the latest album by RACES. /// Complete radio broadcast and playlist: http://b-t-r.co/LOIWDh /// Official website: http://racestheband.com /// Twitter: @RACEStheband
