If you don't know Sandrider by now, your rock cred is officially revoked. The jet-propelled Seattle heavy rock trio is comprised of Jon Weisnewski and Nat Damm of Akimbo and Jesse Roberts of The Ruby Doe/Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds. Their self-titled debut sports streamlined, steamroller chord progressions and tig-welded riffs that take turns driving and flying over Nat Damm’s notoriously unflappable beat. It’s hard rock, but you can write to it. (Which is nearly impossible with most rock records.) You could do lots of things to this forceful and sophisticated avalance of sound: World domination. Fortress building. Ruling your kingdom. Fishing. Turn on KEXP tonight at 8 pm to hear the business.
