When Charlotte’s Junior Astronomers repurpose emo-leaning post-hardcore from the likes of Cursive or Modest Mouse, it’s far from rehash city. In fact, their latest video tips it hat to sunny indie pop, but you can expect more urgency on their new LP Dead Nostalgia out now via Broken Circles.

Dig on the new video for “Before Crimes,” which depicts a pensive skateboarding crew tearing through the city while images flash behind them, and look for Junior Astronomers on the road with O’Brother/Daylight.
