Guitar bands that sound like 1994 without being a revival act are having a genuine moment, and the reason this one keeps getting singled out is the songwriting underneath the fuzz — hooks that would survive an acoustic guitar, split between two vocalists who trade rather than harmonize. Indianapolis is not a scene anybody watches, which is usually where the good ones come from. They went from almost nothing to a real touring schedule quickly and are still playing rooms small enough that it feels early. Highland Park's upstairs hall on a Thursday in December, wood floors, a few hundred people, a balcony that fills late. Music at 8:00 PM at 104 N Avenue 56. The current wave of this sound is being carried almost entirely by people telling each other, and the rooms are where you find out how many of them there are.
