In anticipation of Halfsour’s EP release show tonight, we’ve got a premiere of the aforementioned EP, Charm School. With the start of “Ten Year Tenure,” guitarist Matthew Mara’s guitar punches you straight into the EP with no warning. Charm School doesn’t lose momentum with each song: attacking its listeners with poppy riffs, complementary vocals, Zoë Wyner’s bass grooves to make you move uncomfortably and drums from the maniac disposition of Ian Gustafson.

To answer Wyner’s question “why would you stay?” to begin the EP, we say: Halfsour, duh. Stream Charm School below, and get to the gig. Copies of Charm School will be available tonight on vinyl and cassette via Too Far Gone Records/Disposable America, but if you can’t make it, order one on bandcamp. See everyone tonight!
