Louder Sound singled out their set an AFTERSHOCK highlight, adding, “There’s no pretension or theatrics - they’re just cool.” Find the complete tour itinerary, including recently announced first-ever European shows here and below. Both dates featured songs from the new album, a taste of the energetic, cathartic shows fans will experience on their upcoming headlining U.S. Dunes made their highly anticipated debut performances at Chicago’s RIOT FEST on September 15 and Sacramento’s AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL on October 8. “ Bombsquad” follows the band’s previously released tracks, “ 2022″ and “ Permanent Rebellion,” which have drawn praise from Stereogum, NME, Consequence, Ones to Watch, Brooklyn Vegan, Revolver, Alternative Press, and Loudwire, among many others. Green elaborates, “‘Leora’ is an age-old word meaning ‘of the light’ or ‘compassion,’ which I think is something we need to call and reflect on for growth and unity.” Dunes channeled the power of the former church’s iconostasis into spiritual osmosis via the song’s “ Leora” refrain in the chorus. The performance clip “Bombsquad – Live at Dreamland” was recorded at Dreamland Studios in Woodstock, NY, where some of the band’s favorite ever records (from Sunny Day Real Estate to The National to The Hold Steady) were created. The song is a rage against society’s depressing and destructive forces.” “In the midst of the pandemic, people were trying to take down the government because a ConMan politician couldn’t admit that he had lost the election, not for any legitimate grievance or protest. “The lyrics for ‘Bombsquad’ came from a poem that I wrote around the time of the January 6 insurrection,” says Green.
