Wagers are a pretty fun Brooklyn band who take a sledgehammer to the bearded soul of indie rock Brooklyn, especially the opening title track of their new Shit Summer EP, which bludgeons like an old fashioned Bad Moon Rising sonic riot. The EP slowly simmers out into more pedestrian rock tropes and familiar scuzzy atmospherics, but overall we're putting some money on Wagers: this burrough needs every kick in the pants it can get.
