Picture credit to Victor GutierrezI'm in Chicago right now with the Ice Cream Man and he turned me onto to something good, good, good last night. It's the good word, The Good Gospel Truth, a raucous Brooklyn via Nashville four-piece featuring members of the Brooklyn indie rockers and Les Savy Favs, Detachment Kit. This jagged fare draws sounds form northwest indie rock, as well as NYC post-punk, and runs those influences through a rusty combine, creating some of the most immediate hooks I've heard in a good bit. It'll sound perfect on a creaky porch come Labor Day, or perhaps a dusty basement party once the the leaves turn and the band's kinetic energy is all that's left to create warmth. Cautiously listen to squalid roar of "This is Not a House of Life" or the Brock-ish but broiling scuzz of "I've Got the Lord's Protection." You'll only want to start the weekend early.
