Central Ohio’s Angela Perley, who fronts Angela Perley & the Howlin’ Moons, has a sharp edge to her voice that adds friction to the band’s rock ’n’ roll. It’s rooted in blues, classic rock and even punk, with an emotional punch that’s never overdone.
The quartet’s put out four EPs since they formed in 2009, but this year they went for broke with a full-length album titled Hey Kid, released in January. The well-rounded seletion of tunes range from the raging “Bad Reputation” (not the Joan Jett song, but fiercer) to the rueful, reflective “Down and Drunk” to the strutting “Hurricane.”
Perley and her crew perform at the Music Box Supper Club.
Tickets are $8.
