Pierced Arrows includes the husband-and-wife team of Fred and Toody Cole, who helmed the pioneering Portland garage-rock band Dead Moon for two decades before closing up shop in 2006. The group’s 2008 debut full-length, Straight To The Heart, isn’t a far cry from Dead Moon’s grainy, haphazardly hurled rock ’n’ roll—and the follow-up single, “Paranoia,” is another immaculately damaged slab of gruff-and-tough, nail-chewing bleakness. It’s far more raw and gloriously erratic than this decade’s crop of retro pretenders—which makes sense, seeing as how Fred Cole is a survivor of the ’60s scene, when he played on a seminal 1966 garage-rock single by his first band, The Weeds. A new album is currently in the works and tentatively titled Descending Shadows.
