When Restos emerged from the wake of Western Youth two years ago with their debut LP Ain’t Dead Yet, they celebrated the resurrection with a year-end RestFest, which now returns for its third edition. The Graham Weber-fronted roots rockers will sling a preview of their sophomore album, set for release next year, but the two-night club bill always shines for its eclectic local spotlight. Friday rips with the melodic pop-punk of the Let Down and indomitable alt-country from Harvest Thieves, while Saturday bookends with Matthew McNeal’s HIGHLONESOME and Parker Woodland’s blistering afterparty anthems. – Doug Freeman
