Orange County, CA-based third wave ska vets Surburban Legends are set to release their latest EP, Dreams Aren’t Real But These Songs Are, on October 8, 2013 in CD and digital formats, with the LP version coming November 5, 2013. The band is signed to Rock Ridge Music (with distribution through ADA). The six-song EP is a reverently played and imaginatively arranged collection of Disney classics, full of the band’s distinct blend of fizzy ska and sugary pop, with accents of disco and funk.
The group navigates intricate songs like “A Dream Is A Wish” from Cinderella and “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” from Toy Story, tying together their unique ska lineage with time-honored Tin Pan Alley songcraft. The EP standout is the Legends’ sun-soaked, rocksteady rendition of “Beauty And The Beast.”
