Angel Du$t

Angel Du$t is a band that brings together some of the members of two other Baltimore bands, Trapped Under Ice and Turnstile. Their current work falls somewhere between pop punk and indie rock, where the songs are up-tempo with reliable melodies, while the instruments come with a harder edge. The music is often fast-paced but not particularly aggressive or transgressive, which is quite different from the way they sounded early on before they took a relatively sharp turn towards pop in 2019's Pretty Buff. Before that, they were actually a post-hardcore band with all the aggressive guitars, pounding beats, packaged with a non-stop burst of energy, along the lines of bands like Circle Jerks and the early Lemonheads.
