A new band called Indicators has emerged from Bakersfield, California, and they have just released their first two recordings. The two tracks, “Ban The Truth” and “Dont Blink”, are out as The Demos pt1 and, according to the band, were recorded in the spring of this year.
Indicators are David Slane and Steve Zavala, and if you like raw American Oi! and mid-tempo street punk, these two tracks are definitely worth checking out. Both songs are punchy, straightforward and exactly what I want from a first demo – no unnecessary bullshit around it, just two songs and straight out into the world.
“Ban The Truth” and “Dont Blink” are just over five minutes long together and work as the first taste of what Indicators are about. I like the direction they have chosen so far. We’ll see what comes next. There’s a real energy of something new starting here, while at the same time you can hear that these guys know exactly how to handle their instruments.
The Demos pt1 was released digitally in September 2026, and you can listen to both songs on Bandcamp.
