Watch the video for Sundials’ “710”
As previously noted, Virginia’s Sundials is a tight, pop-punk trio that falls on the slightly artier side of things, avoiding the snotty, brashness of the genre’s most well-known entities. The band has continually offers up ragged power-pop that brings new life into a genre that can often eschews progression or deviation, and it’s this slightly left-of-center nature that keeps Sundials from ever feeling predictable. Case in point is the lead single from the band’s last full-length, When I Couldn’t Breathe. “710” rumbles forth with a foundation-shaking bass line before a chunky-yet-complimentary guitar riff slowly gives way to a toe-tapping chorus. The song, which could easily double as the band’s mission statement, now has an accompanying video, which The A.V. Club is premiering below.
