Go Betty Go gave pop-punk fans plenty of kicks in middle of last decade, when the all-Latina rockers released an EP and a full-length on SideOneDummy Records. So it’s fitting that their comeback EP is titled “Reboot” – after eight-plus years on the sidelines, engaging in real-life things like marriages, families, college educations and jobs, they’re still a kick. The Glendale-bred quartet returns with the original lineup: sisters Nicolette and Aixa Vilar, Betty Cisneros and Michelle Rangel. For the new EP, they also returned to the the producer who shaped 2005’s “Nothing Is More,” Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Flogging Molly). The result is a dynamic, crisp-sounding six-pack of songs that find Go Betty Go pretty much picking up where they left off. “Reboot” is out Jan. 27.
