Songs We Love: WVWhite, 'Drag Down'
As the son of a '90s indie-rocker, Tyler Travis has taken that era's sound and made it his own — after all, it's what's done with all that noise that counts.
Written as an aside to having lost a slot opening for The King Khan & BBQ Show on the grounds that the band's music was "too depressing," WVWhite's "Drag Down" sets the pace. But something a little more involved is happening here: We're not only listening to a band hone in on its sound for the foreseeable future, but also hearing the manifestation of a two-generation indie-rock family tree.
