Bouncy rhythms and story-time metaphor lyrics like "I’m a little spraycan" are certainty sweet, but don’t let the full and fuzzy twee of Your Rival fool you. They describe themselves as writing "fun songs about horrible things" and tear into swift lo-fi garage rock laden with yowling chorus anthems and rolling guitar, especially during live sets. Anyone that went to last year’s Howling House (check out the performance here) can attest to the band’s awesome bombardment upon the ears. They celebrate the release of their first LP, Here’s To Me with a free, all-ages show at Anna Bananas Cafe, with Lee Corey Oswald, Our First Brains, and Soft Skills. Here’s To Me officially drops on Party Damage Records October 22nd. – Brandy Crowe
