Mt. Billions builds up like a volcano on the verge of eruption. Gradually churning swells of ominous tone with earth rattling pulses of bass reinforced by advancing percussion and guitars that distortedly ring through like sirens, and the vocals offer distressing echoes amid the impending disaster, developing a potent enveloping atmosphere that surrounds you in a layer of smoke unable to see the path, while using the slivers of guitar to cut through the haze and the bass lines as a homing device. Tonight, Mt. Billions is featured on a free billing, which also includes the steep sprinting pop-punk charge of Seeing Snakes. Evening River Band casts dense grey clouds overhead with their downtrodden folk that manifests serious storms lay ahead as electric guitar buzzes like lightning and backend rumbles. Lo-fi punk rockers The Cats‘ simple stampeding sound brings a transferable energy you’ll naturally consume, completing the lineup. Creep Records, 1050 N. Hancock St., Suite 76, 7pm, Free, All Ages – Michael Colavita
