D.C.’s Exit Vehicles is brand new. Their online presence is scant, as most of their profiles and pages were created between September and October of this year, and tonight they play a headlining gig at DC9. What is known is the band is a four-piece made up of Adam Polon on bass, Brian Polon on guitar, Jacob McLocklin on drums, and Brian Easley on vocals. The band has eleven shoddily recorded tracks on their Soundcloud, but from those tracks the band shows some great potential. The band has touchtones of Sunny Day Real Estate with a bit of Hey Mercedes thrown in. “Module” is one of the best of the eleven tracks, as it has some angular guitars with shuffling drums and is almost danceable. Easley’s deep voice doesn’t come across very well on the demo, but this is a rough cut and is sure to improve when the band release a full-length next year.
Exit Vehicles play tonight with Betsy and the Bicycles and Dagos at DC9. Tickets are $8.
