Olympia indie-rock trio Happy Noose bills itself as having, "a unique approach to indie infused punk rock music born out of a collective idea of musical resistance to dominant culture." Fuck yeah. Fight the man with this band ... or just get your '90s alt rock nostalgia groove on. Built on an often upbeat bed of mildly exuberant punk-tempered chords and crashes, and held together by the singer's Malkmus-esque drawl, Happy Noose is a band that will feel familiar to even those who've never encountered them before. Dead End Social Club Records recently released the band's debut LP. Something tells me it'll be available at Le Voyeur on Friday - and something tells me you should consider getting your hands on it.
