In preparation for the release of their latest EP, the NYC-based band Controller is taking over with a residency at Pianos, all July long. Their self-described "melodic, high energy dance rock," puts an emphasis on the high energy. You’ll be hard pressed not to dance along to their guitar-heavy rock anthems. The first singles from their upcoming EP deliver upbeat a mix of catchy melodies, gritty sound and punchy rhythm section; check out "Separator" – streaming – and "Flame." Expect their new EP at the end of the summer and be sure to catch them every Tuesday night at Pianos this month. – Sam O’Hara
