Formed after the splintering of Oakland based garage group… The Splinters, SCULLY is a Brooklyn-based psych-punk garage group with an infectious lo-fi sound. Considering that three of the four members from The Splinters are involved in the group, in addition to Burgers from NYC band The Numerators, it’s no surprise that the two have a similar sound. "Deny," the first of three tracks available on the "SCULLY / Las Rosas Tour Split" release (streaming below), is a boisterous garage rock anthem with an in-your-face punk attitude. The tempo of the release gets progressively slower from there, with the second track, "Dana," providing a laid-back yet unmistakably punk-influenced sound, and the third track, "Mother’s Sighin’," closing the release with an ominous melody, threaded with a single two-and-a-half minute guitar lick. The group’s next release is due out on August 17th, a single entitled "Don’t Want That," which will be out on vinyl (available for pre-order here) as well as on bandcamp. The band will also be performing on August 29th at the Bowery Ballroom. – Patrick Wolff
