Real Music

Out of New Jersey comes Classic Traffic, a power pop and indie rock band built around big hooks, loose energy and guitar-driven songwriting. Made up of Andy, Dante and Michael, the band has released a steady run of music since their 2022 self-titled debut, followed by You Want It? We Got It! in 2023, Turn It Up in 2024, and the two-song release Classic Traffic Plays the Hits, Vol. 1.

Pulling from power pop, indie rock and '90s alt-rock, Classic Traffic land in the lane of hook-heavy guitar bands like The Lemonheads, Nada Surf, Teenage Fanclub, The Replacements, Weezer and Supercrush. Their songs are fast, catchy and no-nonsense, with Bandcamp describing the project's traffic-rage concept as "nothing quite like an eight-car pileup."

With the Undefeated compilation LP bringing together past material on vinyl and current East Coast dates on the books, Classic Traffic continue to build momentum as a sharp, immediate guitar band with a strong sense of humour and melody.
