Dirty Fences' rock'n'roll makes us want to get drunk and sweaty and nasty. Their brand new self-titled EP features five new tracks with that kind of straight forward crunch that can resurrect anybody's dormant trouble-making instincts. The band's choruses offer furious but catchy Clash-style chants that will get you screaming along - and they aren't even afraid to venture into occasional chill inducing guitar solos. They stopped by Cake Shop last Saturday to play with Threats, Fine Spoils, and Evil Child, but if you missed that opportunity don't fret, you can get your shirt wet on Sunday June 24 at Mercury, when they play with Grand Rapids. - Bob Raymonda
