Sculpture Club opens their latest LP A Place to Stand with a rolling drum beat, a warbled guitar, and vocalist Chaz Costello singing, "Wear black, drink too much coffee/I wanna be proud of the choices I'm making/but I just wear black, drink too much coffee." Let's just take a second to appreciate how freaking goth that is. We're not talking Kanye Season One and Nike-wearing cool-goth—we're talking buying used Cure CDs and Sharpie-ing your fingernails in a mall food court with a mouthful of Sbarro breadsticks goth. The Salt Lake City post-punk trio started in 2011 as a garage rock duo then called JAWWZZ, having only changed their name this past spring. Their new name begins on the best of notes with an LP that delivers catchy hook after catchy hook. The band has also amassed a reputation around their wild live shows that have featured rose-wrapped mics, confetti cannons, and glitter, a concept drummer Madison Donnelly described to Salt Lake City Weekly as a "dance party to keep from crying."
