Deep Pockets

Deep Pockets streaming 'Nice Life' EP, made a video for "Back To," playing shows

NYC punks Deep Pockets have become staples of the local scene thanks to a memorable live show that has singer Matt Brennan whipping out a few Craig Finn-style moves. They’re releasing their new EP, Nice Life, on July 22 via Dead Broke Rekerds (pre-order), but it’s streaming in full now. It’s punk with a dose of classic indie rock, which sometimes ends up sounding a little like The Thermals. Listen for yourself below.

We’re also premiering the video for “Back To” off the EP, which splices footage of the band performing with footage of the band and their friends playing board games. It’s 2016 and this is the internet, so there’s also a recurring cameo from a cat. Check it out below.

Deep Pockets have some shows coming up, including two in their hometown: July 14 at Legion with Simpler Times, and July 21 at Goldsounds with Bare Mattress and Never. Tickets for the latter are on sale now (no advance tix for Legion). All dates are listed below.
