bs, Snoozer, Proun

Something in the Philadelphia water seems to produce top-tier indie rock, with gritty duo Snoozer serving as an excellent case study. Consisting of brothers Mike and Tom Kelly (the latter of whom travels as fellow Philly talent Alex G’s touring drummer), the siblings stride into Austin in anticipation of LP Mid-Earth. Lead single “Love’s Permission” deftly balances tense distortion with heartfelt lyricism, while the head-bang self-loathing of “Behave” hits home. Local alt-rock favorites Proun and BS join. – Genevieve Wood
