What is the New Wave, listeners ask? A thousand blazing suns of tones and ideas, crystallizing into pop that is enthralling and mind-bending? If you’re having trouble finding a definition, stop trying to define it and just step into the flow of New York-based indie group The High Plains Drifters. Led by frontman Larry Studnicky (lead vocals, lyricist), the band includes John Macom (rhythm/electric guitars, lead/backup vocals), Mike DoCampo (rhythm/electric guitars, backup vocals), Kyle Cassel (drums, backup vocals), Charles Czarnecki (keys, accordion, backup vocals), and Dave Richards (bass, backup vocals). Their genre-crunching brand of sound reached its height of expression in their self-titled 2019 album. But we’re now approaching a whole new era of The High Plains Drifters, with a much-anticipated album release next year. Stay tuned and get ready to get wired by The High Plains Drifters!
