Artist The Night Marchers

From Pitchfork and Drive Like Jehu to Rocket From The Crypt and Hot Snakes, John Reis’ bands have proven he knows his way around a tightly wound, abrasively catchy riff. His latest project, The Night Marchers, offers few surprises for longtime fans: Falling exactly between Rocket and Hot Snakes, the band’s 2008 debut, See You In Magic, is a bare-bones and gruffly propulsive slab of rock with hints of post-punk and garage—not to mention Reis’ distinctive snarl and showmanship.
