You can always count on a great time when the venerable musicians of Pretty Voices get together to push some of their surf-tinged garage n’ roll sounds. Plus, drummer Matt Grimshaw, bassist/vocalist Roger Peterson, guitarist Mike Whitaker and guitarist/vocalist Nick St. Hilaire put out a righteous new record this year, Jangular, packed tight with tongue-in-cheeky humor and their hearty blend of garage, jangle rock and Detroit-reeking power pop that adds up to one mighty fine five-years-in-the-making. reverbnation.com/prettyvoices. —Leilani Polk
