Tonight's the big night, and it looks like we're not the only ones excited about it. There's been quite a bit of favorable press over the past 24 hours - if you're needing more good reasons to spend the night with us at Memory Lanes, check it:
"Worlds away from her previous gig in Chastity Brown's band, Nikki Schultz fronts a stormy, hard-rocking new quintet called the Discord Syndicate, also featuring drummer Aaron LeMay (Mark Mallman) and some other experienced dudes. They're playing Memory Lanes on Friday with Nightosaur and Frankincense to tout a debut EP, "Mergers and Acquisitions," reminiscent of Concrete Blonde and the Heartless Bastards' heaviest stuff."
"The Discord Syndicate play a kind of bracing, interestingly proggy brand of aggro garage-pop – smart, subtle but super-damn energetic, with terrific songwriting courtesy former folksier Nikki Schultz (formerly a member of Chastity Brown’s band), whose potent wail provides a super-cool top-end for the fuzztone blasts on their last single, “Black Hole Device.” Their forthcoming EP, Mergers and Acquisitions, is full of this kind of stuff – arty, sure, but definitely with a powerfully punk spirit at heart. Openers Nightosaur, meanwhile, are pure damn metal – brutal and heavy and downtuned. It’s gonna be a night of many guitars – get there early."

"The Discord Syndicate has a bright sound with a racing pulse, with just enough reverberating electric guitar chords to be futuristic without being weird. The five songs off Mergers and Acquisitions waste no time in getting big fast, but the songs never misstep, never lose sense of themselves, and are never forgotten to chaos. The young band -- composed of veteran musicians Aaron LeMay (drums), Alex Von Der Hoff (bass), Tom Cheever (guitar), and Jeff Williams (guitar) -- has already mastered the art of tight, controlled progression, and it rests in a listener's ear as sweetly as candy."
