Grungy basslines build in the latest single from rollicking East Bay duo Street Eaters. “Ashby and Shattuck” (a nice nod to Berkeley) is an energized and spirited summer tune from Street Eaters’ latest album Rusty Eyes and Hydrocarbons. Undeniably catchy hooks and rolling drum counterpoints are greeted by sinister and large sound structures. Comprised of a boy and a girl, the powerful call and response vocals could be from Sleater-Kinney or a burning Huggy Bear encased in a busted punk pattern.
