Ah, young talent. How cute, how quaint, how unprofessional, right? Wrong. This Friday at No Radio Records, come down to feast your ears on a night of music brought to you by three talented, very local bands (that are young to boot!).

The first band goes by the name of Caution Children, hailing from the other side of The Hill at Ithaca College. Comprised of at least seven friends (but probably expect more), prepare yourselves for an aural assault of eclectic, noisy, electro-jams.

Second up is Tristero, fronted by Sun Columnist Maurice Chammah ’10 and Danny Cohen, an Oberlin Conservatory sophomore. They draw heavily from their musical influences — specifically Okkervil River and Neutral Milk Hotel — but they never let these bands speak for them; they’ve created an folk-pop sound all their own. (Speaking of which, they’ve put out a new EP, The Winding Sheet EP, which includes a cover of the NMH song, “Two-Headed Boy.”)

This new EP shows off Tristero’s budding musical maturity, showcasing complex melodies and nuanced, often poignant songwriting. The Facebook invite succinctly describes them: “Tristero have made it their mission to make even the awkward kids dance a little bit.”

The third and final band is The Tundra Toes, also from Ithaca College. They have made quite a name for themselves by playing heavy-handed, jangly indie rock sure to make you shudder with glee right down to your core. If you haven’t heard this band yet, make it your mission to see them: there’s a reason why they’ve got such a following.

In addition to all of that sweet, sweet music vibrating your eardrums, you’ll also be able to feast your eyes on some lovely photos by Heather Newberger, a sophomore at Ithaca College.

Be sure to support the local music and art scene by making an appearance down at No Radio Records tonight at 7 p.m. With bands spanning so many soundscapes, you can be sure you won’t be disappointed. But if you need a little extra incentive to come (what more could you need?), you should know: it’s free.
