New local music: Blah Blah Blah

Their name might suggest bored indifference, but the music of up-and-coming local band Blah Blah Blah makes it clear they want nothing more than to offer you an escape from all that's forgettable about indie rock. This summer the band will introduce their melodic, melancholic-yet-jangly and hummable rock (think The Smiths and The Cure with a little bit of Radiohead thrown into the mix) with their debut EP, Charm, and are offering a taste with a free download of one of the tracks, "Why Am I the Only One Laughing." Get it here:

Blah Blah Blah - Why Am I the Only One Laughing

If this track is any indication, Blah Blah Blah are the real deal and have the chops to attract a lot of attention. You can catch them live June 5 at Martyrs, June 7 at Moonshine, June 13 at Humboldt Park Art Fair and June 21 at Chicago Peace Fest. In the meantime, check out our Q&A with frontman Solomon Moss:
