Township
A​.​L​.​A​.​N. EP
2014
Township are looking to make this summer a memorable one by releasing a bunch of EPs, the first of which came out just in time for Memorial Day weekend. A​.​L​.​A​.​N. EP kicks off with the epic space jam that is the title track before kicking up a massive dust cloud on “Where The Sorrow Lies.” Two-for-two out of the gate without looking back, “Oh, Mother (Where Art Thou)” launches into guitarmonies that fall somewhere between Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy. That’s a perfect place to be. Let me know when the next EP comes out. I’ll be right here.
Where to get it:
Yellabird
Little Brother
2013
Big riffs with groove and soul. Yellabird channel the ghost of early Sabbath and marry it off to a Southern rock bride. This unholy union spawns some devastating offspring. “This Old War” pummels its way to the front of the pack. “Darlin, Sugar” and “Johnny Law” stomp and snarl. “Breather” offers a momentary respite from density while maintaining its weight. “Little Brother” is a slow burn, but burn it does. Leave nothing but ashes.
Where to get it:
Roy Sludge and BBQ. It worked last year. It worked the year before that. I hope it works again next year, because listening to this trio play in the warm spring air of the Lexington Battle Green BBQ Festival is something I’ve come to look forward to.
The Interrobang closed out the Four Point Retraints release show at the Davis Square Theatre with a churning set of guitar rock. It would be one of their last as The Interrobang. A name change is in the works starting with their show back at this venue next month.
Eddie Japan own whatever stage they step on or floor they commandeer.
Four Point Restraints released their Malice EP at the Davis Square Theatre this past Saturday with a dark, driving, swashbuckling hoedown. There were cookies.
