The band also avoids quick hits, layering each song with noise, solos, and other sonic detours. All five members chip in to and sign off on lyrics that take shape on a white board in the band’s practice space, which leads to some pretty winding narratives. So if you’re looking for a band with some sardonic edge, you’ll do well by The Interrobang.

Thanks to Scott and to Boston.com for the coverage and support!

The reviews have begun to roll in for our new self-titled record.

Kristin from
Bishop & Rook gave the record a spin and caught up with us for a couple of quick questions about the direction of the band. Here’s a portion of what she had to say. You can find the rest of the writeup/interview here.

A heavier rock-infused project, the direction of The Interrobang appears to be focused and power-driven. Despite the darker tones in ‘Chaos & Confusion’ and ‘Bombs Away’, The Interrobang produces some catchy tracks including ‘American DebtSlave’ with a very identifiable and fairly self-explanatory message, ”I wake, I work, I sleep, I pay and I wonder why I played this game”, and my personal favorite, the tight and enticing ‘All Smiles’ with a killer line, “My reputation’s gravely misunderstood.”

Our thanks to Bishop & Rook for their kind words and coverage!

The Show

If you are familiar with the New England music scene, then you are well aware why we are so flattered to celebrate this milestone with such a strong lineup. This entire lineup is incredible.

• When Particles Collide
  They’re a rock ‘n roll duo from Bangor Maine that plays a high-energy, captivating set of original songs about the things that keep people up at night. Their lead singer/guitarist, Sasha, is a polka-dotted pistol of a frontwoman and their drummer, Chris, is an absolute predator on the kit – speed, power – he’s got it all. Plus it’s his 30th birthday that night.
  
• The Susan Constant
  Straight ahead Boston indie rock with enough dancey-dance thrown in to keep things interesting. These guys are everywhere. The 2012 Rumble alums parlayed that into being named one of 2013′s “Bands to Watch” and delivered a new EP this year, “Shapes”, that is an album without weakness. Their lead singer, Paul, has a voice all his own. He could sing Ave Maria and make it a TSC song.
  
• The Michael J Epstein Memorial Library
  An all-star cast of Boston band members/alumni (The Motion Sick, Axemunkee, Johnny Blazes and The Pretty Boys, Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling!, etc.) combine to create the world’s only male-fronted, all-female, librarian-attired, downtempo, indie, ensemble-pop act featuring intricately constructed, tongue-in-cheek tortuous songs with an emphasis on narrative. Their new song, below, is off-the-charts good.
  

The Residency

We’re flattered to announce that this show begins our permanent residency at Radio bar in Union Sq. We will own the last Saturday of every month (except August, we’ve got the 24th). We’ve already begun booking some incredible lineups to carry forth the momentum of this first show. There will be some themed shows, there will be some special shows, we’ll invite some friends to release their new records with us. It’s the beginning of a great partnership in a great room.

We’re proud to start busy and hope to stay busy. We’ve got a trip to the North Shore, a FREE acoustic show (with free booze) and a benefit for The One Fund to fill our first weekend.

We hope to see some of you at any of these gigs. If anyone can make it to all three, we’ll give you a free advanced copy of our upcoming self-titled EP.

Our schedule this weekend, which also can be found on our “shows” page, is as follows:

• Thursday, April 25, 2013 – Haverhill, MA – The Chit Chat Lounge
