Midwest freakazoids The Serfs use ripe riffs, vibrating bass and pounded-out synth to move at amphetamine speed through tracks that sound a bit like Suicide and The Sonics collaborating live on TV Party. The moment you think you have a handle on their sound, you feel like a fool. They race past pastiche and into the stratosphere at a rate you can’t imagine until you see them in person.
