Apr 24, 2017 Our First 100 Days By Christopher Roberts

“Our First 100 Days” is an anti-President Donald Trump project. The good folks behind the “30 Days, 30 Songs” anti-Trump campaign during the election have teamed up with Secretly Group for “Our First 100 Days.” They plan to release a new song every day during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. The latest addition is from New York-based trio Beach Fossils, who contribute “Silver Tongue.” Listen below.

Beach Fossils are releasing a new album, Somersault, on June 2 via Bayonet, although this song isn’t found on that album. Previously the band have shared Somersault tracks “This Year” and “Saint Ivy.” Pick up or download Under the Radar‘s current print issue, the Spring 2017 Issue, to read our new interview with Beach Fossils about Somersault.
