Track of the Day: Dream Ritual “Stones” (2019)

We all need a little bit of scuzzy 90’s inspired grunge in our lives, especially because this kind of alt-rock is becoming increasingly hard to come across in a sea of constant pop (and pop rap) releases flooding social media. Your latest taste comes from Springfield, Missouri band Dream Ritual who capture all the frustration and energy of garage-born grunge with a little bit of melody thrown in on “Stones”.

Their latest singles, a preview of new record Trips Around the Sun is the latest fuzzy offering from an outfit that should be having a big year, if their previous singles are any indication. Starting with muscular garage rock slowly building towards a floating, melodic dreamscape before crashing back down with scorched earth, “Stones” is a wild ride.
