Six new(ish) bands to check out this summer
Live MintLike lucky dips at fêtes and fairs where you put your hand into a big container filled usually with sawdust or wood shavings to rummage for and pull out a hidden, unknown prize, my quest to discover new music is often fraught with risks.

The US-based power trio’s sound is wild and high-energy, characterized by the 60-year-old Narita’s non-stop, high-octane guitar style that works like a jolt of multiple shots of strong caffeine.
