Dirty Impound

Pontiak

Part III/Shell Skull

Straight up, Pontiak is one of the strongest and most consistently growing trios slapping rock awake these days. Capable of short, cutting bursts and widescreen color blasts, this band harnesses the heavy-sacked thump of original trio Grand Funk Railroad married to unexpected stretches of introspective, exploratory beauty and strangeness. They’ve got a new EP, Comecrudos, arriving June 21, which is a quartet of interlocking pieces. This subliminally druggy clip gives ya a sample of what’s in store before sliding into older song “Shell Skull.”
