Ah, summer. The only time of the year where the immense heat is justified and turning on the AC at home for the whole day is completely fine. But most of all, it’s the time for non-stop partying and jamming out to some good, aesthetically pleasing music.
Mike Salerno, known for his one-man indie project Lunchbox Riot, knows this pretty darn well, and it shows in his latest single titled “Future Sinkhole”. It’s an upbeat rock treat to listen to, and fits perfectly with the summer season, especially after everyone went through those horrendous two years of the pandemic. That was a time of fear, panic, and worry. But now, is the time for something different.
Being part of Lunchbox Riot’s third self-produced album, named Nirrvaña, “Future Sinkhole” throws all the worries out the window and wants its listeners to let loose. The instrumental is reminiscent of rock bands that we loved listening to growing up, specifically in our kind-of edgy party teen phase, and the vocals reflect the same nostalgia with its distinct but familiar fuzziness.

Hans is an engineering student with a growing dismay for math. As ironic as that sounds, he’s always looking for a break from digesting numbers and symbols by indulging in things he likes instead: music, writing, and video games. This guy is also the type to hog the microphone on karaoke night, so be careful when you’re inviting him for some singing over drinks.
