Cronies reveal "Ice Pop (Tastes Like Love)" from their upcoming record

NYC punk band Cronies are set to release their new album L1V3 S1CK0 L0V3 F3ST on October 20 via Reptilian Records. Pre-orders are available here.
Drawing inspiration from 90s artists while embracing the vibrant NYC music scene, the lyrics on the album focus on external criticisms of American culture.
The first single from the record, "Rentboy", has been previously released. Now, Cronies are releasing the second, titled "Ice Pop", take a listen below.
Cronies go out of their way to capture a very specific vibe with "Ice Pop (Tastes Like Love)".
It's classic punked-up, grungy rock that sets aside the dreary attitude and embodies a mood worthy of skateboard hill bomb in summer with friends. Guitar tones have crunchy textures, drums are positively locomotive in their movement and ceaselessness, and the emotive vocals smack of '90s Beastie Boys when they started using more effects.
The result is a melody-first banger that still sounds plenty new while ingratiating with the nostalgic crowd as well - Turnstile, MSPAINT, and/or Algiers fans rejoice.
