The Regrettes, "I Dare You" - Skyline Sessions

If there's a kind of signature rock-and-roll sound that Los Angeles inspires, it might be something like the sun-soaked, fuzzy garage-pop of The Regrettes, a young, ascendant band that also takes inspiration from '60s girl groups and riot-grrrl punk. The band's recurring themes are empowerment and self-worth, especially when navigating romantic relationships, which is the primary focus of the group's new album How Do You Love?, a set of songs chronicling different stages of a love affair. While in Houston for a sold-out concert, the band visited Skyline Sessions to record the songs "I Dare You" and "Pumpkin," both from the new album, which will be released on Friday, August 9.

I love how the girls' guitars match their hair

[@shortbusdriver83]

And the drummer's matches the cymbals!

[@amygillfolk]

@@shortbusdriver83 wait omg yess

[@shortbusdriver83]

@@colton6742 Yes. Also known as a bass guitar. As opposed to a double bass or stand up bass.

[@shortbusdriver83]

@@colton6742 4 strings. Easy to see. If nothing else count the tuning pegs. And that is a bass guitar. You can wear it and it functions as a strumming bass instrument. If it was a stand up bass it would function similarly, but be on a peg, and would not have frets.

[@amygillfolk]

Adjacent yep, as a bassist i refer it as a guitar 😂 creates less conflict i find

When Weezer and the Strokes had a female baby the Regrettes were formed. And pop rock dubbed it as good. Real fuckin good.

Strokes

[@APandaToRemember]

I’ve always said this song reminds me a lot of the strokes, it sounds like a mix of last nite and someday.

[@frogonthegrass]

Julian Casablancas helped in the writing of it.

95% of artists sound terrible without being in a recording studio, but only few hold their ground to their trully gifted voice

[@kasisoot]

I have to say that this not their best performance. I mean, I love it, but I’m kinda a fanboy at this point, so my opinion is suspect . I imagine that it is 8:00 in the morning after or maybe the day of one of their shows in Houston. I give them credit for doing all of the publicity that that they do. And to everyone who are ragging on the sound, it is a public radio station. The sound guy is an intern from the local university.

[@SkylineSessions]

Thank you for your comment. The sound engineer is a professional who has won a Peabody Award.

[@kasisoot]

@@SkylineSessions I apologize for besmirching the engineer’s credentials. My comment was more about the band’s lackluster performance, and I truly adore this band. It just wasn’t their best for whatever reason. I listen to KUHF probably 25 hours a week and respect the people who provide all of the great content that they give us everyday. I’m sorry for my comment.

[@edferd100]

A new bassist?

[@alexwest909]

this is what it sound like when you try to make a song that sounds like the strokes but you aren't nearly as good

[@dcwebb1]

Good group but needs a better drummer IMO.

[@waltdunn2]

Sooooooooooooo mediocre !

[@gracie9898]

very true, how is it so different from the live?

[@jesserogalski1402]

I wouldn't call it mediocre, but it was definitely a weak live performance. I've seen them live twice, and it was a better than what was seen here.

[@bryanbaumgartner5302]

Maybe just reserved, different...
