There’s gasoline in the water. Tom Petty distorts through a car stereo. Betrayal, broken limbs, half-naked bodies launching themselves from the rail of the Ledyard Bridge into the Connecticut River.

There’s a price to pay for letting go of what’s real on “Endless Summer,” the opening track of Matt Pond PA’s Permanent Change Part 1—“Young liars turn into old liars, turn into dust and blow away.”

With a sound that reflects an eclectic range of influences, Belgium's Wrong Man continue to forge their own path with every record they release, and every song they write. Their unique brand of soulful post hardcore is equal parts noisy and melodic, at times bluesy and moody.

New York City ska upstarts Be Decent have released their debut single, “Human Nature,” a spiky punk rock anthem inspired by The Jam and Elvis Costello and featuring guest vocals from indie legend Ted Leo. The song is about how phony moral crusaders tear others down in hopes of landing on the “right side of history.” On the buildup to the towering chorus, lead singer Jimmy Doyle is disappointed, if not exactly surprised: “It’s nothing major / Just human nature.”
