Local grunge-tinged rock band Penny Loafer has made itself one to look out for, joining up with Indecent Artistry to release its debut EP, Daily Deal, on Mar. 28, with a Southeastern tour to follow in April. The five-song EP, produced by Adam Wayton, is moody and trance-like as often as it is eruptive, bursting tactfully into driving instrumentals and gripping harmonies at will. Emma Barnes and Seth Parker are the sole of Penny Loafer, a duo dedicated to filtering the angst of the post-grad limbo through the lens of Sonic Youth, The Breeders and Fugazi. The memorable riffs and clever wit of the songs on Daily Deal come alive in a live setting, often with contributions from other local musicians Iain Cooke and Matt Knox. The EP release show will be opened by Viv and the Things and Recess Party.
