MUSIC—Hailing from Western Massachusetts, the all-gal power-pop punk of Potty Mouth is a goddamn breath of fresh air. Matching introspective, witty lyrics with heavy pop hooks, Potty Mouth sounds a bit like Liz Phair’s most upbeat stuff with a dollop of the Buzzcocks thrown in for good measure. Get ready to nod and pogo. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY

MUSIC—The nameless ghouls that make up mysterioso metal band Ghost might look like satanic clergymen, but their straightforward, diamond-hard tunes are scarcely as evil as they look. With a theatrical flair, they add a winking wickedness to good ol’ fashioned high-volume rock. NED LANNAMANN
