California X

California X, “California X” (Don Giovanni, 2013)
Heavy/melodic, hard-driving indie-guitar-rock from Massachusetts. They’ve been compared to that state’s legends, Dinosaur Jr., and make a similar sunshine-‘n’-storms folk/psych/metal blare, but are simultaneously blurrier and more straight-ahead. Really good stuff, with fine songwriting.
Try A/1, B/1
