Together PANGEA's Evolution in Badillac
Together PANGEA, a prominent pop-punk band from Southern California, made a significant artistic advancement with their 2014 debut album, Badillac, moving beyond their garage-punk roots to showcase deeper, more sincere sounds. Lead vocalist and guitarist William Keegan expresses that the album may surprise fans who expect a straightforward punk sound, as the band aims to avoid being pigeonholed. Despite their growth, the energy of youth remains alive in their music, characterized by a raw and rebellious attitude. Songs like "Alive" echo the heavy sounds of Black Flag, while the title track is poised to be a standout rock single. Keegan?s lyrics reflect a youthful angst influenced by iconic '90s bands like Nirvana and Weezer. He emphasizes how the music from one?s formative years leaves a lasting impact. Alongside Cloud Nothings' Dylan Baldi, Keegan is recognized as a standout young songwriter of the millennial generation, proving that if Together PANGEA's music doesn't energize you, it might be time to check your pulse.
