Our Take

Ah, WHISTLES & THE BELLS, what a delightful name for a band. Their latest album, Modern Plagues, is a rollercoaster of emotions wrapped in a musical journey that will leave you questioning your existence in the most entertaining way possible.

From the opening track, "Pestilence Parade," with its infectious blend of folk and indie rock, to the hauntingly beautiful "Quarantine Queen," this album is a symphony of chaos and charm. Frontman, Ethan Ballinger, showcases his lyrical prowess with poignant storytelling that will have you dancing and pondering the meaning of life simultaneously.

The band's ability to seamlessly blend genres is nothing short of impressive. Tracks like "Isolation Blues" and "Lockdown Love" effortlessly blend bluesy guitar riffs with infectious pop hooks, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows on Modern Plagues. Tracks like "Panic Buying Boogie" and "Viral Vibes" delve into the darker side of the pandemic, offering a raw and unapologetic commentary on the state of the world.

Overall, WHISTLES & THE BELLS have crafted an album that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. Modern Plagues is a testament to their talent and creativity, and a must-listen for anyone looking for a musical escape from the chaos of the world.
