Social Hero CMJ show: Village Underground on 10.24
Anyone up for a second helping of Warrant’s “Cherry Pie?” That’s not exactly what Social Hero serves up, mind you—this is no ironic hair-metal pose—but insofar as the quintet mixes fat riffs with libidinous lyrics, its music recalls the simple pleasures of rock’s pre-grunge era. On “Evening Gown,” the best of the group’s MySpace offerings, singer David Lloyd dreams of tearing through the titular garment, while “Mosquito Attack,” a nod to ‘80s Aerosmith, finds the front man poised to spend a night nibbling on his special lady’s face. Lest anyone think the band is only inspired by schlock, “Keep Telling Yourself” reveals an affinity for Queen and ‘70s power pop—influences always deserving of the revivalist treatment. See Social Hero live at the Village Underground (130 W 3rd St, NY) — Kenneth Partridge
