If all the 2011 grunge anniversary nonsense made you a little sick to your stomach, who can blame you? The movement that changed this town for better or worse (depending on who you talk to) and then spawned a million terrible imitators certainly has its share of detractors. Perhaps the biggest beef with the scene that was that it hasn’t really properly been rebooted by a new generation—our own. Spaceneedles may be the ones to change that. A tight outfit featuring members of Feral Children and Grand Archives, these kids understand their flannel clad legacy but take it to a fresher, sexier, more inspired place, keeping it heavy and simultaneously easy on the ears. With Pony Time, Slow Dance. MA’CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
