Friday night the Rogers Park flop box The Albion House will host a pop-edged proclamation with a six band line-up that'll surely have attendees in neck braces by the night's close. Two Toronto outfits, The Bayonettes and Dangerloves roll into town with an antipodal smear across the collective pop punk fabric. The Bayonettes, with a couple of singles under their belts, the latest released on Deranged Records, kicks up a brusque mixture of noxious and addictive guitar hooks over tousled and jagged female vocals. Dangerloves deliver a more sweet-tempered pop cooing then their Canadian counterparts, melding urbane vocals and bubbly song stylings that lend more to the love-drunk musings that give power pop it's perfectly frivolous charm. Their sound should fit neatly between Chicago's deft and dangerous melodic Busy Signals. Then in a crooked ear topsy-turvy, Defect Defect are also set to perform. Hailing from Portland, OR, their assailing salvo pounds out a contrary sound to the evening's other acts, and will lend to an interesting mix of lax and choleric musings that will keep everyone on their toes. The bellicose Chicago hardcore act The Pedestrians, whose record release party is next month at the Ice Factory, open the show along with Canadian Rifle.
Here's a clip of the Pedestrians performing at the Slaughterhouse.
