Two Brooklyn bands called Al Gore and the Memorial Gore Four got “Yoko’d” into a new sonic monster, Memorial Gore, which brings to mind a bit more Cronenberg and a bit less greenhouse gas and is totally for the best. Their 2013 debut “Demos,” displays a warm, hazy sounding and rather light hearted garage-rock, while the more recent releases (including "say What You Will," streaming) reveal punk revival influences within an overall power pop environment. It’s fun and a bit familiar, unpolished energy. Think of them as your college pals having fun without you – although you can catch up with them at Fontana’s on April 9th. – Leora Mandel
