You might remember identical twins Ryan and Martin Rex from 90's Boston band Lockgroove. Now based out of Philadelphia, the brothers are back with Soft Skies Inc. Their latest single, "Sooner or Later," is just drenched in early alt-rock (or college rock, I should probably say) mixed with modern dream pop. It's the type of song that is going to resonate with fans of bands like The Sundays and early R.E.M., as well as fans of newer bands like Beach House. The song is fuzzy and dissonant, but in a softer, more gentle way. With "Sooner or Later, Soft Skies Inc are taking nostalgia and updating it for today.

Ryan Rex says of the band's latest single:

“‘Sooner Or Later’ is filled with bittersweet nostalgia for a time in one’s life that was innocent and free. I think no matter your circumstances, most can point to a period, usually younger years, where the world feels open, limitless, profound – before ‘real life gets in’. The song both lyrically and sonically reminisces about this time and laments the fact that we all get mangled – even under the best of conditions – and that sooner or later this is inevitable. And that somewhere deep down, we all know it’s inevitable.”
