Formed in 2019, Lifeguard are Asher Case (bass, vocals),
Isaac Lowenstein (drums, percussion), and Kai Slater (guitar, vocals). At its
core, Lifeguard is a punk band. Their music is loud and energetic. It’s also,
at its core, visceral and hypnotic. For the Chicago-based trio that can include
repetition and blasts of speaker cone-shredding feedback. Their songs adeptly
balance melody and chaos, rhythm and drone. Hooks and noise are held to the
same standard. Both have to stick.
Last July Matador released “Crowd Can Talk / Dressed in Trenches”, a
composite of two EPs by Lifeguard. “Crowd Can Talk” was originally released in
the summer of 2022 by Chicago label Born Yesterday, while “Dressed in Trenches”
features five brand new and unreleased songs.
On each record, there are echoes of underground guitar
bands from decades past. This is not record-collector music, though. It’s the
product of a present-day community. Lifeguard are, first and foremost, a
performing band and the songs are written to stand up in that moment.
“More than old records – before that, before anything –
we’re influenced by live shows and people around us,” explains Slater. “The inspiration comes from playing shows with
people and having that mind-blown moment of seeing some friend play at Schubas
or Book Club,” adds Lowenstein. “It’s happening on these tiny little
scales of seeing kids play live and [knowing] this is something new and
interesting.”

The band members met at a hearing loss
clinic in 2022 and thought: in for a dollar, in for a dime.
The main idea behind GOFAI is one of
unrelenting violence and irreverence, blending hardcore, noise rock and
shoegaze. While 2023's debut album "GO FAIL" was more firmly rooted
in punk rock, it nonetheless included elements, that were expanded upon on
2024's "Aratov Drive". The EP puts the band's more experimental
leanings on full display, and has shown that GOFAI is one of Luxembourg's
preeminent underground bands.
