In 2022, Salt Lake City-based indie rockers The Backseat Lovers released Waiting to Spill, the follow-up to to their 2019 breakout debut When We Were Friends. The 10-song collection showcases a maturity in the band’s sound that is rarely achieved in a sophomore effort. A coming-of-age album, Waiting to Spill covers everything from growing up to heartbreak and self discovery backed by intricate instrumental solos with a slowcore feel, a new approach for the foursome. The experimentation pays off and blends effortlessly with frontman Joshua Harmon’s emotive vocals pulling the listener into the passion of the songs.

Watch The Backseat Lovers perform “Know Your Name” and “Slowing Down” from Waiting to Spill live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
