Preview: Brighton, MA/Schubas

RECOMMENDED

Tonight’s the last chance to see local outfit Brighton, MA during its Schubas residency, a free show that also features The Deep Vibration and Love Raid. One of my favorite local acts to emerge in the last couple years or so, Brighton, MA’s debut full-length came out last year, called “Amateur Lovers,” and while I didn’t quite like it as much as the first self-titled EP, it still packs quite the proverbial punch, and “Sunblinded,” the record’s standout track, is a grower that builds to a great crescendo of a chorus (and quite powerful live as well). Definitely worth checking out, and it’s free, so c’mon dude, really? (Tom Lynch)

February 23 at Schubas, 3159 N. Southport, (773)525-2508, at 9pm. Free.
