Robber Robber/Rockin Worms/Perennial/The Classicals
Burlington VT’s Robber Robber (fka Guy Ferrari) are purveyors of slimy, cerebral post-gunk, soaked in deadliest poisons and deep fried in diesel fuel. The bass is like a broken transmission, the guitars like a bucket of loose bolts, the drums ready to rattle the lugs right off the hub. Pair that with scorching vocal delivery and you’ve got the whole bitch.
Perennial is an art punk three-piece from New England. The band’s sound – built from the sharp minimalism of electric organ, guitar, and drums – is a kinetic collage of mod pop, 60s soul, post-bop jazz, 90s post-hardcore and British Invasion garage rock. Their live sets are quick, angular, and ferocious – 20 minute bursts of energy. Their new EP, ‘The Leaves Of Autumn Symmetry’ is available everywhere stylish garage pop is sold.
