With bandanas and beards, the Montana Boys looked like they might have opened for the Marshall Tucker Band. Looks can be deceiving. The quintet delivered an intriguing set of quirky indie rock that owed much to Television (yelping Tom Verlaine-esuqe vocals? Check. Angular guitar solos? Check.) and plain old television, with songs dedicated to small-screen icons like Tony Danza and "Doogie Howser."

Montana Boys review in RECOIL by Eric Mitts
Two seconds into "the Big One", off the debut from Montana Boys, the sky opens up wide, as if the traded-off harmonica and clean-guitar licks can cross clouds and transport listeners to some mountaintop. Looking down from there, the band's original sound spreads out, grabbing little bits from just about everywhere. A classic rock touch here, some indie sensibility there ("Making Me Sick" featuring guest vocalist Claire Fisher), or even a freaked out jam or two ("Like I Do [Mr. Rastafarain]"), the band of longtime underground GR musicians meets music lovers where they are. Besides mountain-sized musical range, the band also brings a live feel to the set without sacrificing sound quality. Hear five of the eight songs now at myspace.com/montanaboysrock. - Eric Mitts
