Secret Rooms ** 1/2

They’ve been opening for countrymen VHS or Beta and the Von Bondies recently, but this LA quartet sounds a lot more like UKers Bloc Party and Editors on debut LP Secret Rooms. In other words, it’s post-punky, angular and worships at the feet of U2 (singer Christopher Pearson even sounds a bit like Bono). Far from groundbreaking, but also far from terrible.

With A Crowd of Small Adventures, Love Pentagon, Love Like Fire. February 8, 10 p.m., $5. Beauty Bar, 598-1965.
