I have no idea what could be more fun, the debut EP from the all-star quartet Broken Bats or the party that one imagines got the ball rolling. Formed in Nashville, Broken Bats merge the talents of Matt Friction (Pink Spiders), Denver Dalley (Desaparecidos, Har Mar Superstar and his own project Statistics), Tony Smith (Sleeper Agent) and Gabe Pigg (Future Unlimited). The foursome released their debut EP today, four songs that recall the unhinged energy and glitter of glam-rockers like Thin Lizzy and Sweet. It’s a welcome old-school approach — maybe some of this is being done with a wink, but it’s certainly not being done with any degree of pretentiousness. For those who are about to rock, and who have in other incarnations, we salute you.
