The Lost Project
On songs like “Through the Road,” The Lost Project knows how to make pop punk work. With a jangly guitar rhythm and lightly driven lead, the SA act grabs at the high energy of the genre without catching the adolescent embarrassment. Wild Dreams, the 2014 album from SA’s Colleens, displays brothers Josh and Jon Harter’s knack for pop songwriting and arpeggiated guitar. Animal Room, the 2012 debut from Last Nighters, plays like something of a concise history of modern Southern indie music. From blues to pop to country twang and indie-rock bluster, Last Nighters are children of the wide-open Texas night. $3, 10pm, Hi-Tones, 621 E Dewey, (210) 785-8777 —Matt Stieb, James Courtney
