The last few days have frozen the surroundings. However, Shark Tape’s new LP Marathon, produced by local aficionado Jeff Zeigler as well as Phil Nicolo (The Police), provides the type of sonic heat required to get listeners locked in a deep freeze up and out. Now that you’re ready to move, head to Milkboy to catch the band’s record release this evening. The trio of Stephen Lorek, Dylan Mulcahy & Niles Weiss generates a refined, powerful rock sound that covers a lot of musical terrain, with no shortage of catchy hooks. Their constant moving aesthetic gets you on your feet, and has the hard-churning instrumentation to keep you there. So step outside and let Shark Tape’s Marathon thaw you out, because these songs could transform into anthems. Tonight, they’ll be joined by youthful, folk-rock crew Pine Barons. MilkBoy Philly, 1100 Chestnut St., 8:30pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
