Serica Ux plays thrashy, two-piece rock and roll with just the right mix of angst balanced out by obvious enjoyment of what they’re doing. The interplay between the fuzzed-out bass, occasional synth, and sometimes straight-ahead/sometimes break-beat drumming reminds us of Death From Above 1979 in all the best ways. Here’s an mp3 of theirs and some photos from their set (with more available on Flickr):

We first got to know Chris Brunelle as a member of Mo Matching Drapes, then as a member of Aldenbarton. He’s now started a new band called The Whisperians that we caught recently at Pianos. The band is a tight power trio that plays what may best be described as punk-pop — as opposed to pop-punk. Somewhat reminiscent of Ted Leo or Elvis Costello as opposed to Blink 182 (thank God). They’re energetic where they need to be and laid back when that’s the way to go. And Chris is clearly a guy who likes to play songs with other people who like to play songs for people who like to listen to songs. As simple a concept as this may be, it’s something not always as evident as it should be, so it’s good to see it in the Whisperians. Check them out at their next show: July 21st at Death By Audio with El Jezel. Here are some more photos from their set (with more on Flickr):
