(May 17, 2017) – Atlanta-based rock upstarts Microwave have released a brand new video for their song “Roaches,” premiered on May 17, 2017 on Earmilk. The track sets an apathetic tone for the band’s latest album, Much Love; a collection of songs about vocalist Nathan Hardy coming to terms with the harsh realities of a life that was previously obscured by a strict religious upbringing.

Blending elements of early 2000’s alternative and Southern-tinged indie rock, Microwave balance frankness with a penchant for wit, allowing for their personal perspective to make a significant and striking impact. Since the 2014 release of their debut album, Stovall, it’s been one positive thing after another for Microwave, from tours alongside The Wonder Years, Motion City Soundtrack, letlive, You Blew It! and Sorority Noise to rave reviews from the likes of Noisey (“it’s like holding a portal to the future of the scene in your hands”), being named Paste Magazine’s The Best Of What’s Next and more.
