Night Sweats CD Release/Midwestern Electric/Bobbipin

Punk rockers Night Sweats are relentless, intense and unforgivingly energetic. Overdriven guitars and fast, explosive drums outline their songs while lead singer Brandon Abate delivers the melodic vocals. Almost uncharacteristic of the genre, the vocals sit atop the heavy tracks. Easily one of the more talented post-punk outfits on the local scene right now, the group is finally releasing a full-length album. Tracks like "Post Party Depression" and "Thank You and Goodnight" have surfaced online; they show the band's overt skill and mastery of the genre. If these tracks indicate the quality of the album, it's definitely going to be one you'll want to pick up. With the equally high-powered energy of opener Midwestern Electric, you're going to want to drink some caffiene before this show. (Patrick Stoops)
