There is no deficit of reasons to love . One, Woodsboro is the solo project of former (the same Honey who’s former members are now in bands like and ) frontman Moses Montalvo. Two, the song “Pocket Comb” features bass riffs and flatly enchanting vocals from both Montalvo and The Mallard’s Greer McGettrick. Three, not one to just put out an album, Montalvo is releasing only 100 copies of the Pocket Comb 7”, with every ultra-limited copy being graced with it’s own individual album sleeve put together by some talented artist.

And most importantly “Pocket Comb” is a woozy charmer of a song. A low-key bit of rumbling croon that finds the voices of McGettrick and Montalvo interweaving above a warm layer of fuzz, “Pocket Comb” is at once soft and subtle and sad. If you ask me a beautiful new direction for the obviously talented Montalvo.

The Pocket Comb 7” is going to be released on . Head over their to see a smattering of the beautiful covers Montalvo has culled together.

If you’re looking for a well-priced show featuring a strong line-up of some true up-and-comers in the city (and one startling out-of-towner), show at The Knockout on Monday the 17th is sure to sonically flay you. , finally in full three-piece form, is riding high on the recent completion of their first album, a nine or ten song bit of surf rock that somehow sounds like it was recorded in a creaking haunted mansion. might just be the best thing San Francisco has produced in the last five years and if you aren’t starting each and every one of your mornings with a blast of “” your days just aren’t as good as mine. , a Philadelphia proto-punk band, recently melted most of my internal organs with a cover of Barrett Strong’s “Money (That’s What I Want)” and if their live show is even slightly indicative of that churning bit of gravel, you and everyone else will be devastated to miss their only San Francisco performance. .
