The Restivo brothers were a natural rhythm section from the start.
"John was already drumming and put the idea in my head to play bass,"
says Vinny. Until the three met at their job in a seedy pizza joint, the
teen brothers were playing in the bands you might expect to find in
suburban garages across America. "What really made us want to start a
band with Ben," John says, "is that we saw him get past security at a
Cage the Elephant show. He jumped on stage during "Ain't No Rest for the
Wicked" in short shorts, suspenders, combat boots and a sailor hat and
did a stage dive." Guitarist and singer Ben Presley seemed to be just
the catalyst John and Vinny needed. In 2013, Concord America released their debut LP, Shag Nasty- a blistering lo-fi rock record that solidified the dynamic between Presley and the Restivo brothers.
Today, the band is announcing their forthcoming EP, Suns Out Guns Out, and
sharing its title track. The first single is a perfect distillation of
the what listeners can expect from the EP when it is released on May 27 via Post-Echo. Speaking about the track, SPIN writes, "the
boys blister their hands even faster over nearly two minutes of guitar
snarls, rallying the mosh pit with the hook, 'Don't worry about the
future 'cause we're all gonna die / Let's drink the night away.' Cheers
to that." Check out the track and all EP info below. wegetpress.com |
