San Francisco's Terry Malts are a boisterous trio that go fuzzy and noisy and, well, they just "rock out" (for lack of a lamer term) really good. They have some stuff out on Slumberland, an excellent label, which totally makes sense because my FIRST THOUGHT after listening to these guys was, "They remind me of a slightly less abrasive Weekend." (also on Slumberland - and the logic - it goes 'round and 'round.)

Well, ok. Maybe that wasn't my FIRST thought; who knows how many thoughts we have before our brain even notices. Deepness. Anyway, if you like noisy, swirl-y garage pop that's played all fast and stuff, then you're really going to like Terry Malts.

Oh, and you might also like Terry Malts if you like The Vaccines. Maybe that was my first thought. Who truly knows what goes on inside that brain?

Terry Malts play The Echo, on Sunday, February 23rd.
