Call it Asbury Park Alt-Pop. Max Connery (vocals/guitar/synthesizer), Noah Sullivan (guitar/synthesizer) and James Waltsack (bass) are, collectively, Sonic Blume. The band was hatched in 2016 as musically-curious high school students, then bloomed out of the shore like American Beachgrass. Their combined love of sumptuous ‘80s synth-pop galvanized them to create their own.
