“Like a Millennial Oasis”  SPIN Magazine “pairing Beatles-esque harmonies with a rollicking rhythmic core and anthemic sheen” Under the Radar “evokes such a magnetic melody that any vintage aspirations are outmuscled by a pure, stone-cold, sonic hypnosis” Paste Magazine

Friday, April 25 - Today, San Diego-based indie rock band Pleasure Pill released a new single from their forthcoming debut studio album Hang A Star, showcasing timeless Britpop with indie rock swagger set for release on June 27 via à La Carte Records – pre-order here. Out now, alongside a retro-inspired music video, “My Way To You” is an addictive, anthemic track that builds up to a burst of punchy percussion and hypnotic harmonies.  Listen to “My Way To You” here Watch official music video here Premiered by FLOOD Magazine who stated of the band, “…you’re in for Oasis’ soaring take on Britpop with a bit of the psychedelic influence of Spacemen 3 and the cheeky radio hits of The Dandy Warhols".  Of the track, frontman Jonah Paz says, “‘My Way To You’ is the youngest song out of the batch, written sometime last year. One of those songs that truly feels like an exact mix of every band we love. It’s intended to be large, powerful, and anthemic, growing until it explodes.” “My Way To You” follows the release of lead single “Line Up The Stars,” the band’s take on “club meets rock’n’roll,” shares Paz. The previously released track is a swirling mix of power-pop exuberance and baggy swagger. Pleasure Pill’s introspective lyrics depict adolescent wanderlust, a curious combo destined to launch them to the stars.  Listen to “Line Up The Stars” here Watch the music video here

Pleasure Pill picks up where Brit-pop left off, but this time with better haircuts, and sound designed to entangle you from the very first note. Following in the footsteps of Britpop brother bands of the ‘90s, lead singer Jonah Paz and brother Ethan (rhythm guitar) formed the band in mid-2021 with friends they grew up with in San Diego’s underground scene. Together, they overcame their sibling rivalries and dreamed of big success and world domination, in between skating, going to DIY punk gigs, and putting on shows in their community centers. Within a few years, the band has already captured the attention of tastemakers and media, and received high praise on previous releases including the psych-infused single “Wonder How” and their blazing full-length live album Heaven Can Wait, which was recorded during a buzzy NYC club residency last year. All of this helped the band to quickly build a local following and turn it into national music industry buzz.  They were courted by every major record label, who initially blew hot and then cold when the pandemic hit and fewer chances were taken on bands without a viral social moment to show proof of concept. Undeterred they decided to stay true to their indie roots and wrote songs inspired by British music from the invasion era classic pop to seminal ‘90s bands like Primal Scream and the Stone Roses. While clear sonic reference points, their songs never become pastiche but live in the current underground of contemporary indie rock and hit you like an intravenous shot of dopamine. If you dare, watch this band on upcoming tour dates with Sid Simons and Benches, as well as headline dates in New York (soon to be announced.)
