Earlier this year, Matt Murillo and Kelly Norman, two Texas transplants now living in Olympia, made a splash with just seven minutes of music. In January, Murillo and Norman’s garage-pop band, The Maxines (named after Norman’s BFF), released their first EP, Drugstore, on K Records. The longest of Drugstore’s four tracks, the chugging “Ghost in the Cove,” clocks in at just two minutes and 20 seconds, but what the songs lack in longevity they make up for in punchy zest. Murillo’s guitar wails, Norman’s drums thrash, both members sing with cocksure bravado, and it all comes together as a riotous good time. With Night Beats, Unnatural Helpers. ERIN K. THOMPSON
