JAMAICAN QUEENS, LEO
(The Liquor Store, 3341 SE Belmont) Jamaican Queens are known for weird, noisy dance ballads with uncomfortable amounts of bass, inspired by taking pills and getting chased through Detroit all night. It's hard being an indie rock band when all you wanna do is chop and screw, so Jamaican Queens can be hard to classify. Ryan Spencer and Adam Pressley (formerly of the Detroit band Prussia) write catchy songs to make you move your butt around. The ballads on their new album Downers are more focused on polyamory problems and less on getting chased, but singles like "Joe" and "Bored + Lazy" contain layers to roll around in like a glitch bouncy castle.
