Infectiously poppy garage rock act Autonomics have been around for awhile now. There's not really any band in Portland that sounds quite like them - fast paced garage wrapped in a delightful pop punk robe, with hooks as catchy and toe-tapping as the next. For a while now, their full length Debt Sounds has been in heavy circulation in Europe. It's been highly anticipated over here in the States and it's finally made its debut, with Autonomics having commissioned a couple bands to help them in the release show process.

Devy Metal and Ice Queens are slated to excite the crowd as they await to hear Autonomics' new sounds in full. Aside from whatever they've shared of Debt Sounds on stage, "Superfuzz" and "Southern Funeral" have been the only ones available online to dive into. Hear the album live on 9.2 at the Doug Fir Lounge.

Modern Portland adults likely didn't have the best prom experience in school. Not because everyone definitavely has a shitty time, but because back in our day those that excelled in high school tended to be the jocks, Associated Student Body ruling or prep types that found those types of events the literal social events of the year. Us musically endowed types have a second chance at making prom an actually enjoyable experience thanks to High School Records and their first annual prom they're hosting tonight.

Come donned in your finest of pieces to twerk, cha cha and slow dance with everyone during performances from Hollow Sidewalks, Sweeping Exits, Volturz and You Said Strange. DJ Joseph Hopper will be spinning in between sets, and all money collected at the door is going directly to Outside In.

If a Saturday night prom sesh isn't in your cards, consider heading to the High School Records After Prom, which takes place tomorrow. Devy Metal, Helens, The American Weather and Small Field will be playing the Liquor Store for free in efforts to close out High School Records' first foray into social engagements. 

Tickets for tonight's prom are still for sale, running on an suggested donation of about $10. 

Devy Metal may be somewhat new as a band, but they come with all the spirit and vigor as seasoned vets. They've got a couple singles out now ("Greenleaf," "Baptism" and a cover of "Tempted" by Squeeze), but they're releasing a mystery single with us all tomorrow as part of their Sunday Sessions at Rontoms with And And And.

As always, Rontoms Sunday Sessions are free, so come here Devy Metal's new track and some Portland favorites in And And And. Check out Devy Metal's live recording of "Tempted" for Noise & Color's Cake Away Show below.
