There’s freedom in two-man bands, as if they have to fill up all that extra space onstage or in the studio. Austin’s Major Major Major is Adrian Sebastian (guitar, vocals) and Andrew Torrey (drums), but they often color outside their given lines. Guitars will take on a rhythmic stab while the drums fill in the blanks. On “Scream Queen,” the band’s engine has a few gears, shifting between a doo-wop sway and a yelping garage-rock sprint. True to its title, the song slashes away in a campy, gleeful rush.
“Scream Queen” appears on PG-13 Movie, out October 28 via Punctum Records. Major Major Major plays live in Studio 1A on October 27 at 9 p.m. and at Cheer Up Charlie’s on October 28.
