POW! Hi-Tech Boom, 2014. Switchboard Scientist, 02:22. Cyber Attack!!, 01:53.

Hi-Tech Boom shows off a band that has a firm grasp on their sound, arriving packed with songs that feel like they've been worked and reworked until they shine like dirty diamonds. Taking inspiration from garage rock, post-punk, and early Devo, the songs on Boom are squirmy and punchy with fat synth squiggles and yowling, preening vocals taking the lead, though the snarling guitars drop in now and then to wrest away control

A world caught up in a whirlwind of digitized distress, civic evolutions caught in the technocratic quicksand limbo, a city in the grips of class warfare, and Thee Oh Sees on pause; all of this and more informs the backdrop for POW!’s Hi-Tech Boom. The San Francisco group’s most realized work to date seeks therapy in the chaotic midst of times for both their beloved city, and the geographical move of their label boss John Dwyer from SF to LA (coinciding with the hiatus of his aforementioned flagship band).
