Restless Leg Syndrome: A groovy journey through indie rock

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a band that defies easy categorization. They’re often lumped into the indie rock genre, but their sound blends elements of post-punk, noise rock, and even a touch of psychedelia. Think The Strokes meets Pixies with a dash of Sonic Youth‘s experimental edge.

Their music is raw and energetic, driven by a raw, guitar-driven sound and the captivating vocals of vocalist, and guitarist, Adam Harding. Their songs are often characterized by catchy hooks, swirling guitar riffs, and a frenetic energy that’s hard to resist.

Their most known songs are:

  • “Nervous Breakdown”: A driving, anthemic track that perfectly captures the band’s chaotic energy.
  • “The City”: A melancholic ballad that showcases Harding’s songwriting abilities and the band’s softer side.
  • “Ghost Town”: A hypnotic and eerie song that showcases the band’s experimental side.
  • “The Day After Tomorrow”: A powerful and emotional track that explores themes of loss and hope.

Fans of RLS often enjoy listening to:

  • The Strokes
  • The Pixies
  • Sonic Youth
  • Television
  • The Velvet Underground

RLS has built a strong following in the indie music scene, known for their energetic live shows.

The band also enjoys close relationships with other artists in the indie scene, including The Wombats, The Drums, and The Kooks.
