Vicky Speedboat (the combination of Modern Baseball/Steady Hands’s Sean Huber and W.C. Lindsay’s Will Lindsay) delivers the goods on their debut EP Two Years No Basement. The emotive fire rages in these impassioned anthems. Bottling up pressure through personally-tinged, relatable narratives and instrumentation that sprints forward in an unfiltered, exhilarating release, Vicky Speedboat have set the bar for their collaborative project, exulting stormy memories of youth. They’ll be making their debut live performance tonight at Bourbon & Branch, and will be joined by a blaze of guitar licks, setting the path for Lansdale rockers The Sixties. Like-minded, Lansdale-rooted, local trio Birthday Boy percolates a rumbling gritty honesty, while the pensive sensitive rock of Newark, Delaware’s Ringfinger gathers steam, working through matters from soft to searing. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
