MP3 Of The Week: Dirty Bombs, ‘In Every City’

Last month, "On the Download" premiered the first MP3 from Dirty Bombs, a Voltron-esque local supergroup featuring members of Televandals, the Luxury, and Conservative Man. Their collective mechanical roar persists here with "In Every City," a blistering post-millennial rock joyride that opens like an explosion, breaking at once into its electro-disco chorus before bouncing along through seas of fuzzed-out synths and thumps while maintaining a vicious alt-rock edge.

The relocation of former Conservative Man vocalist/programmer Ian McCarthy to Boston from Philly earlier this year was our finest heist on the City of Brotherly Love since the Bruins acquired Dave Poulin in 1990 - McCarthy's School of John Titor songwriting vision makes Dirty Bombs a definite local act to watch in 2k11.

They crash the House of Blues front room on November 26 with indie lads Midatlantic; in the meantime, snag the "In Every City" MP3 here:
