Pontiak announces Asheville show and shares a disorienting video
Virginia based band of brothers Pontiak are gearing up for the release of INNOCENCE, their newest full-length, on January 28th. SPIN premiered a new video for “Lack Lustre Rush,” a song as fuzzy as it is infectious, which was directed by the band themselves and filmed upside-down. Check it out for yourself below. The band is available for interviews for album and tour press.
