Cardboard Club

Indie pop outfit Cardboard Club releases a new double A-Side titled ‘Show Love / Take Your Shot’ today which is the Utah-based band’s third release since 2018.

Comprised of Lyricist and vocalist, Cristian Banner, composer and producer Taylor Terrill, bassist Ricky Casanova and guitarist Capp Nicoll the band utilizes what little free time they have to produce absolute 90s pop bangers in hopes of helping people forget their worries, and have a little bit of fun.

The introduction song ‘Show Love’ is an upbeat ballad reminiscent of retro hits like Journey’s Midnight Train and The Cars’ Just What I Needed, updated with a modern bite for the uncertainty of the new decade. It has breezy, jangly guitars with soft, bouncing vocals from Christian.

‘Take Your Shot’ on the other hand, strikes with the breakneck speed of bands from the 2000’s such as The Strokes and Two Door Cinema Club, filtered through the lens of the raw sensibilities of modern bedroom-pop.

While going about their lives of day jobs, college, and toddlers, Cardboard Club are the unconventional group of 20-somethings who work around the clock to create something that they are passionate about. Check out the singles below and leave your ICM Star Rating out of 10.
