Because Pachangacha are originally from Amherst, MA (they now live in Connecticut), it’s tempting to compare them to their hometown heroes Dinosaur Jr. While that band’s fuzz-fueled riffage does appear all over Pachangacha’s excellent 2013 album, WEIRDHEAD, it’s not blatant Dino worship by any means. There’s also Pinkerton falsettos, blink-182 immaturity (there’s back to back to songs called “Balls” and “Boobies”), and the reckless fun of a ’90s house party band. Check it out for yourself by streaming the album below.

Since we last spoke, Pachangacha has been added to a few Northeast dates on the Solids tour, including both NYC shows: March 24 at Glasslands and March 25 at Mercury Lounge. PUP, who open most of the tour, are on both NYC shows as well. Tickets for the Glasslands show and the Merc show are on sale now. Updated dates are listed below.

In related news, PUP finally gave their self-titled debut LP a US release date (April 8 via SideOneDummy), and they’ve released another track from it, “Guilt Trip.” Check out that song (via SPIN), with the LP artwork and tracklist, below…
