Purveyors of Fiction/He-Chaw Frunk / High Titles/Yelloh / Derek Deprator Band

On their debut record, Invisible Ink, Purveyors of Fiction offer up a heady mix of distorted static and intense and chunky rock ’n' roll. Loud, heavy and relentless, their grinding guitars and splashy drums come at you like a runaway semi. Amidst the grunge, the band’s real talent shines through. Lead singer Nick Pecone’s vocals reverberate with soulfulness and add an unexpected-yet-welcome melodious element to the record, blending perfectly with Drew Minor’s notable guitar work. Tracks like “Darling Darla” demonstrate skillful syncopation and rhythmic changes driven by Luke Heberle’s wild drumming. The album’s overall “order amid chaos” vibe comes across well as the three talented guys let go of their inhibitions. Tonight’s show is a CD release party, and the guys will have the 6-track EP for sale. (Stoops)
