Lifeguard, Autobahn [inside]
It’s a band you should already know by now, but Lifeguard simply hasn’t been around long enough – on Earth, that is. The recent high school grads embody a teenage DIY dream, hailing from a youthful Chicago scene full of cut-and-paste zine scraps, basement dance circles, and analog four-track cassette tapes. Born in the wrong generation, the trio combines punk physicality with the earnest devotions of power-pop, singing the sounds of love and growth the whole country is bound to recognize soon enough. So if you don’t know the act, get on board this weekend at Mohawk, with friends Autobahn opening. – Levi Langley
