Boys Like Girls
Boys Like Girls play the Gordon Field House on the RIT Campus on Sunday, October 12.
Boston-based Boys Like Girls doesn't sound like U2, but the band manages to capitalize on the space between the guitar's jangle and sparkle and the lower register's rumble and groove, much like Bono and the boys. Too many bands shovel so much shit into the mix, there's no air for the song to breathe. BLG is a rare bird in this post-emo pop rock arena; it understands the importance of dynamics. It also understands the importance of a nice sing-a-long hook to string along fans. The band offers nothing particularly fresh, but is good enough to dominate its genre, and perhaps even survive when it evolves into tomorrow's sound...whatever and whenever that'll be.
