Anarbor

How is this the first and only real rock show I’ve got this week? I know, it’s weird, right? I think so, too. Luckily, the Phoenix natives of Anarbor bring more than a week’s worth of rock ’n’ roll in every set they play, and I’m more than confident in their ability to hold down the rock front in this week’s Frequency. Though looking at their tour mates on this outing is admittedly enough to discourage most grown adults from wanting to attend this show, I promise, on all my journalistic integrity, that Anarbor is very much a grown-up appropriate band. Yeah, they’re infectiously catchy, and yeah, they put on a dynamically energetic live show, but they’re anything but children’s music. The foursome can bring some riff-heavy hard rock edginess with that pop sensibility. So yeah, they’ll get you to sing along, but no, you won’t have to feel guilty about it when you do. - Brien Overly
