San Diego's Syndicate rocks Scottsdale, Tempe this weekend

San Diego riff-dance rockers Syndicate are bringing their highly charged up rockin' post-punk sounds to the Rogue Bar in Scottsdale tonight and to the Yucca Tap Room in Tempe Saturday night.

The band keeps the songs moving forward with blasting drums, great band vocals and burning guitars. I like it - I hear echoes of other post-punk-slash-chord bands in their sound, but that's cool. A couple of standouts from their MySpace page is "Down By The River" and "Jesus Lives in North Park" - check 'em.
