Hometown Sounds

Johnny Fantastic’s evolving group of synthpop weirdness Stronger Sex recently added electronic producer CrushnPain and produced a new FREE self-titled four song EP back in March that really cements their vibrant mix of dance beats and lounge singing. This live video for “Straight Shooter” from that EP, and especially the repeated refrain at the end, is destined to get stuck in your head all weekend, so be warned. The renaissance of interesting and quality synthpop bands in DC will someday get noticed by the world at large, but for now we get it all to ourselves.
