Music Friday
August Spies Fit Pop-Punk Mold
By Jim Phillips, 5-04-07
It’s always interesting to note where punk has landed in music these days. It insinuates itself into so many areas, particularly pop. Now, that may seem odd to some. But the dirty little secret is that punk is and always has been quite pop. Take another listen to the Sex Pistols and you’ll see what I mean. August Spies fall into this pop-punk category perfectly. With a naturally youthful sound they pop as hard as they rock. Sort of an angry Jimmy Eats World.
But they’re leaving town for a while. Oh, don’t worry, they’ll be back. They are just heading out on a summer tour. But you can catch them before they leave and wish them luck on Friday, May 11, at Burt’s Tiki Lounge and on Friday, June 1, at the Cell Theater. After that you’ll have to wait until the western leg of their tour is concluded. Click here to listen to Pedaling Backwards
