Semi-Sweet, the sophomore LP from California indie rockers Tijuana Panthers showcases a band striking a pleasant balance between surfy beach pop and scuzzy garage rock. The band makes equal use of both genre’s signifiers, as multi-part harmonies appear alongside layers of loud, distorted guitar and rolling, cymbal-heavy drums. With influences ranging from The Beach Boys to The Buzzcocks, Tijuana Panthers continue in the pattern of similarly minded indie rock acts Best Coast and Real Estate with their beach-ready take on guitar pop.
