Less than a minute into Deadbubbles’ latest offering, Frienemies, frontman Arlo White makes it clear that his band is all about “rock and roll music.” And indeed, the Broomfield act roars off the line with some supercharged rock infused with the swagger of ’70s punk from outfits such as the Dead Boys and the Stooges. From there, the guys add in a quart of garage and take a drive into Cramps territory on “6669,” a tune about getting down with a she-devil, while on “Song for Robert Pollard,” they pay spirited tribute to the Guided by Voices frontman. Save for a few tunes, Frienemies sounds and handles like it could have been made three decades ago.
