Ditch Boys are New Haven’s latest sweet-heat candy treat, the city’s power-pop surprise. The band’s debut EP, Seven Minutes with Ditch Boys, unwraps in three tracks some Buzzcocks-inspired power chords and subtle harmonies that mix splendidly with energetic drums and vintage rock ‘n’ roll guitar solos. The band’s choice to lace its punk music with a 1950s classic rock vibe creates a bubble-gum-popping type of listening experience that adds a sweet layer to the leather-jacket-wearing quartet of rascals. The band’s next show is at home inside Three Sheets on July 6th. We are streaming "Shots of Love" for you below. – Rene Cobar
