Residuels EP Release Show at Bourbon & Branch April 22

Raunchy, raw rippers with a primal howl, Residuels sweat rock ‘n’ roll. Celebrating their latest EP Love Songs via Suicide Bong Tapes, before heading off on a West Coast tour with the Buzzcocks, the power trio unearths an unbending energetic stomp that never goes away because it hits the core. That unfiltered take-it-as-it-is expression tears through all types of terrain – quickly, nastily and unflinchingly. The searching, heady post-punk of Throbbing Chakra helps set the table, stirring up the floating aspects of one’s mind, while the sticky dark synth of Remote Control gets things started. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
