Los Angeles rock band, ACIDIC, has everything an emerging band should have – unique vocals, edgy guitar licks, bass that you can feel and driving drums.

With all of the members being 21 years old or younger, the band has a mature sound for their age, and their touring history is impressing, having already played with high-profile bands like Hawthorne Heights and Alien Ant Farm.

The quartet formed in 2008 and released its first album, Ironic Dreams, in 2009 and its second, Getting Lucky in 2010. The new album, Chronic Satisfaction, dropped Sept. 13.

Chronic Satisfaction features nine songs and some trippy album artwork. It starts off with the single “Uninspired,” a carefree rock anthem with a bass line that makes you want to move. But no track stands out as much as the guitar-heavy “Black Box,” which displays the band’s edgy, classic-rock-infused style.

The album closes with “Ironic Dreams,” a re-release of the title track off their first album. It brings Chronic Satisfaction to a strong close and makes it a definite must-listen.
