Deadfolk play “super quiet, hushed folk.” No! Is this the end for rock? If bands start to get really, really quiet then nobody who has rawked even once in their entire life will be able to hear them—their Motörhead-mashed ears won’t be sensitive enough. And thus starts the split in the human species predicted in H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine, between the effete, wispy, brittle-boned Eloi and the stinking, brutish troglodyte Morlocks. Is a world without rock the future you want for your children? If not I suggest you get down to Johnny Brenda’s and stand at the back yelling “What?” and “Sorry, did you say something?” and “Speak up, you twit” until you provoke Deadfolk into an unstoppable Incredible Hulk-style Monsters of Rock rage. Thus transformed, their sonic angst might well kill you (think of all the pent-up screaming contained within their deceptively folky frames). But you will have saved planet Earth, the human species and, most important, rock. (Steven Wells)

Wed., April 15, 9pm. $10. With Great Lake Swimmers + Kate Maki. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 Frankford Ave. 215.739.9684. www.johnnybrendas.com
