They played their first show about a year ago, but audiences can already anticipate a high-energy performance with an intricate and often frenetic playing style, which we music journalists used to like to refer to as “math rock.” Niche-sub-genre talk aside, the reason you’ll already get a potently realized indie-rock package with a veritably new band is that several of these players have been in a handful of previous projects.
You can see Long Square live this Saturday night in Hamtramck at The High Dive with Second Body and The Feat. Follow on Instagram for more.
Also, make sure to stream the show above if you missed it, because Long Square also gave you a sneak peak of an unreleased track off of their upcoming album!
Other highlights from this week’s show include a new track from heavy-rockers Edison Hollow, who have an album release show on Friday night at Small’s. We also heard new indie-rock from singer/songwriter Taylor Brown, who writes and records under the moniker of Sock Jock! Splashing in some genre variety, we heard some reggae/ska from Detroit Riddim Crew, and a dip into post-hardcore ferocity with Big Life.
