Narcos Family Band - Pink Blues (2017)
Set for release on the last day of this
year, this latest EP from the Philadelphia-based group of Narcos
Family Band boasts four quick tracks of dirty rock, rolling along on
fuzz-swaddled guitar riffs, belted vocals, flexible drumming, and
plenty of hooks. With each track, they tease an opening, then dive
in to thrash about and have fun, then barrel their way out before
things get too redundant to be fun anymore. At times, it's almost
like sludge on mood enhancers, with the grinding tone of the guitar
and the clear punk allegiances joining playful conduct and a focus on
rock power over downbeat kicks. And the careening grooves show a
knack for the looser side of psych rock, infusing the songs with a
bubbling, unpredictable recklessness that only lifts their rocking
all the higher. Fun, gnarly, and quite tasty, this should be on your
list if rock that colors outside the lines appeals to you in the
slightest.
