Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Guitarist Paul Christus and drummer Tony Corona should be given some kind of medal for weathering numerous lineup changes over the years and sticking to their guns. With their long-running band, all capitals, these two guys have rearranged the roster more times than Spinal Tap, but they’ve never given up on developing their punk-infused indie-rock sound. When Jim Beasley joined the fold, the group got what it needed to make the songs cohere while shaving off all but the best of its excess. The outfit’s latest effort, The Time Is Now (whose release is being celebrated this Friday, October 21, at the hi-dive), bears this out with an obvious spirit of excitement and joy on every track. This is one act that plays like it doesn’t have time to waste.
