The Spinto Band will be sharing the good vibes tonight at Johnny Brenda’s when they open for Luke Temple’s Here We Go Magic. In May, the five-piece released their latest album Shy Pursuit on the band’s own label Spintonic. The group brings a simplified approach that combines vocally-lead tunes which harness narrative-based songwriting while incorporating the rich twang of country-influenced, finger-picking guitar with a progressive percussion which changes shape adapting to the mode of the individual track. On a track like “Keep Them Alive,” the serious subject of the lyrics is balanced by an upbeat and even playful music composition with steady drumming laying the base, which further highlights the extremely clean vocals. Their music is user-friendly engaging the listener from the onset with its catchiness, which stirs the memory and doesn’t feel repackaged, producing songs that are enjoyable from the beginning and only get better as they’re broken down. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 8pm, $12, 21+ – Michael Colavita
