Guided By Voices

Stage-kicking, beer-swilling power-pop singer-songwriter Robert Pollard continues to churn out snappy, lyrically obtuse rock at a breakneck pace—Guided By Voices managed to release two albums in 2021, including its latest, It's Not Them. It Couldn't Be Them. It Is Them! Balancing punchy new tunes with dives back into the band's catalog of lo-fi rock anthems, Pollard and company are still a live force to be reckoned with, especially in front of a crowd that knows all the lyrics to "Echos Myron." Take a swig of Jose Cuervo and settle in for a sprawling set that splits the difference between the band's energetic contemporary output and tracks from classic records like Bee Thousand and Do the Collapse.
