It's gotta be fairly difficult to keep the requisite guitar drive prevalent in the mix without overshadowing the vocals and its story. Pittsburgh's Young Fox manages it magnificently. Vocally this band is on an even keel with a melodic sensibility, all while the guitars drive at it from every side. It's heavy and atmospheric and not the least bit indulgent.
Young Fox plays with Alberto Alaska, The Dirty Pennies, and Periodic Table of Elephants on Saturday, May 21, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $7. bugjar.com; youngfoxband.bandcamp.com.
