THE RIZZOS, “BRESLIN”

Taking its name from one of New York’s iconic Chelsea pubs, “Breslin” by The Rizzos continues the Brooklyn band’s track record of crafting catchy, moody rock and roll. Megan Mancini’s lead guitar hook sets the loose tempo and within moments the drums and bass appear and erupt, signaling that you’re in for another rocket ride of a song from Brooklyn’s go-to underground garage rockers. The group specializes in this brand of three-chord chaos, taking propulsive rhythms to their distorted limits under Mancini’s introspective lines like, “The stars, they can erupt/But they always burn out too.” “Breslin” is a song about longing and waiting, but The Rizzos have brilliantly given it a rhythm that demands you move (and maybe, as the song seems to imply, move on).
