Whew, Cleveland, we nearly blew away! Let’s celebrate Sandy’s departure by heading out to a show this weekend. We think it’s best you find something that’s going to get your blood pumping and let you get out all the fury related to the power outages, closed venues, and lack of D batteries in our fine city.
Our suggestion? Andrew Jackson Jihad at Grog Shop. Why? Because these boys have tongue-in-check lyricism that will have you in stitches as they’re delivered in a folk/rock sound that leaves you wanting more.
Not hard enough for you? You need to thrash around and maybe break some shit? Check out Vince Roy‘s record release over at Mahall’s. Or pick a show from the one’s below. You know what you like.
