We’re barely two weeks into the new year, and this four piece band from New York City  is already on a roll. 

LAUNDRY DAY is back and better than ever as they ring in 2025 with the release of their newest single, ‘No Go.’ The band’s discography ebbs and flows between genres with ease, and ‘No Go’ i a testament to their versatility. This single could be in the soundtrack to any iconic teen rom-com, with its effortlessly smooth background vocals and perfectly grungy instrumentals.  

The song begins with the 2000s inspired drum line as Jude Lipkin, the band’s main vocalist, whispers the lyrics “If you walked into a party with everyone you've known / Who would you go up to first?” This introduction is immediately followed by a raunchy and rapid chorus full of tongue twisters, which Lipkin navigates skillfully. 

Throughout their career, LD’s lyricism has been widely acclaimed for good reason. They have a special knack for storytelling, and this skill is on full display in ‘No Go’. The song puts the listener in the unique position of having feelings for someone who’s taken, but they’re the ‘life of the party’, and you can’t help but want them. The bridge of the song is especially notable because it captures the warm dazed feeling that someone only gets when they have a crush.  

LD has proven time and time again that their unique sound traverses genres, and they can do it all. LD is on a generational run right now, and they are truly the ones to watch.
