Anthemic indie-punk trio I AM CHAMPAGNE, featuring three-fourths of The Lovekill (and one-half of Bears), make their debut, rendering propulsive rhythms, angular riffage and shouted refrains in fresh combinations. SWARM OF BATS swoop in from parts unknown in a flutter of leathery wings and piercing sonar to lay waste to preconceptions of what garage-punk is and what it should never be. Taking one last lap around the Midwest before calling Time Out, Brooklyn-based post-hardcore trio NAKATOMI PLAZA return to Cleveland to share in-person what will endure on recordings once they call it quits: a squall of passionate noise-tunes bolted upright by pile-driving rhythms. ATTICA! ATTICA! featuring Aaron of Marathon and De La Hoya fame, opens with his emo-laced acoustic punk.
