Since 2006, Minneapolis-based electrorock four-piece Roster McCabe has been making music fit for jammin’ and dancin’. In their seven-year existence, McCabe has released several full-length studio albums, including The Rhythm The Elements and Through Space and Time. The band’s coalescence of sounds embodying reggae, jazz, and rock is best represented, however, by their high-energy live performances, which have led to several live albums, the most recent of which is Live 2013, Volume Cranked Up!
Touring throughout the U.S. since early April, Roster McCabe has appeared at Summer Camp Music Festival and is scheduled to play the 80/35 Music Festival in July before finishing their tour with a stop at Hyperion Music and Arts Festival in Spencer, Indiana. After spending such a significant portion of their year on the road, another live album seems like a perfectly appropriate move for providing fans with an opportunity to experience the musicianship and energy exhibited by their live concerts.
Live 2013, Volume Cranked Up! does just that. Between tracks like the upbeat, synth-driven “Take a Breath” and “The Only Truth,” whose steady introduction builds to a shredding guitar solo, the album offers classic Roster McCabe material in a form only fans fortunate enough to make it out for a tour stop have heard until now. The album includes a cover track as well, a version of Daft Punk’s recently released “Get Lucky.” For those who have already dubbed Daft Punk’s rendition ‘Song of the Summer,’ a listen to Roster McCabe’s version is highly recommended, along with the rest of Live 2013, Volume Cranked Up!
