There is nothing odd and charming about snotty Cambridge aggro-punks WHITE PAGES and their throwback garage anarchy that is instantly familiar to any fan of DRI or early Casualties. This raw power trio brutally destroys every instrument and hotel room in reach with a slick bitterness like malt liquor splashed with blood and spit – check out burner “TYMURS on My Side” for a swig. Taking center stage is a noisy male-female battle for vocal dominance between guitar slayer Joe and thunderbassist Christine that often results in a sweet and sour harmony, like gym socks in a glass of piss. Even the most seasoned circle-pit thrashers ought to prepare themselves for the wonderful beatings they will walk away with after a scorching WHITE PAGES set. Those who missed out last night at their rocket-fueled ripper @Radio in Somerville get a second chance on April 7 when they storm JP’s @Midway Café with LIQUOR STORE, BIG NILS and THE MIGS. Be there or regret your pretty mug the next day.
