[ROCK] Named in the spirit of the 1967 Detroit riots, the ever-shifting Rhode Island-based collective, Detroit Rebellion, is currently the duo of Jeff Toste on vocals and guitar and Micaiah Castroon on drums. Known for a grimy take on bluesy Americana, the band has spent the first half of this year recording a follow-up to a debut, The Man, that’s getting a formal reissue on the Bodan Kuma label this month. The new music will follow in the fall. Scrappy but passionate, sloppy but not without skill, Detroit Rebellion sounds a little like a less produced Black Keys and a lot like themselves—which is what indie rock needs more of: artists that stand apart with organic (rather than contrived) originality. They’re at Mohawk Place on Tuesday, July 25, with our own Nylon Otters and Doc Ellis.
