Super-charged, stuck-in-your-head loose rockers that lift you out of your seat and get the blood flowing – now that Cold Fronts‘s Forever Whatever (Sire) LP has finally been released via Sire Records; their contagious enthusiasm is the ideal shift towards the weekend. This evening at Johnny Brenda’s, the band’s casual strolling tunes will be spiked by tightly twined guitar work that kicks the instrumentation into overdrive. Cold Fronts deliver reverberating pop-rock, while still flexing their musical muscle. They’ll be joined by Nashville quartet Chrome Pony, who enjoy infusing organ into their rollicking sounds, and lively fuzzed pop-rock to dingy grungier tunes, Charleston, South Carolina trio Heyrocco incorporate an intriguing melding of influences that easily soaks in.
