Peter Arcuni, frontman and songwriter for this Bay Area quartet, must have a killer record collection, judging from the apparent influences behind the gritty, angular rockers’ full-length debut: The Replacements, Fugazi, Mission of Burma, Uncle Tupelo, Springsteen. In other words, an ideal band to see—to quote one of Birdmonster’s song titles—at “The Bar at the Back of the Basement.” Or on the Beauty Bar’s back-alley outdoor stage.
