Union Sq. Somerville. Radio(the bar). ARVID NOE. AMOROSO. BUGS AND RATS. These are the factors leading up to the explosion of noise & rock that is going to be happening tonight in that area described just before. ARVID NOE rep a blistering, twisted guitar shredding your face style of indie punk that is sure to arouse the perhaps dormant love of rock within your meat and bones. AMOROSO will continue this trend of reminding you why the loud rock is till a living, breathing thing in 2012 with their riff laden instrumental take on the form. Then we come to BUGS AND RATS, proud sons of Quincy, MA and slathered in enough scuzz for you to know that they really are from there. BUGS AND RATS are a merciless band, a bile spewing, fuzz freak of a thing. The kind of band that when it walks into the room, your mind starts to whisper into your inner ear, “let’s get the fuck out of here.” Behold the nasty rock stew they have been brewing for you their entire lives(filled with harshest Nirvana moments and the whole AM REP catalog) tonight @ what surprisingly isn’t that bad of a place (a near miracle for a new-ish venue in this zone) to go for a show, Radio. LOUD.
