Feeling the need for Suburban Speed

This past Saturday (July 27), Brooklyn-based Suburban Speed was a late addition to the Show Brain-presented afternoon of live music in Tompkins Square Park. 

It was maybe not the most enviable slot, with just a few people out early for the show, along with some curious passersby. 

Regardless of the time, Carson Walsh (vocals, guitar, soprano saxophone, power drill) and Seth Sosebee (bass, keyboards) were intent on delivering a compellingly abrasive and anarchic set of songs that commanded attention.
To date, Suburban Speed has released several singles ("Pink Plastic Lighter," "Monte Carlo" and "Provolone Pimps.") With their unconventional song structures and Walsh's sometimes free-form vocals delivery, we're looking forward to hearing how they put it all together on a full record.
