The Districts, Metro, Chicago, Illinois

Even though they’re from a town not far from my hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and have been around for a couple of years, I only recently discovered indie rock band The Districts. They stopped at Metro while touring to support the release of their sophomore album, A Flourish and a Spoil (2015). Not too far out of high school, the band features a standard four piece setup and plays with an alternative/garage rock sound, though they gave each other some space and everybody had their chance at a solo or two. Their set included a songs from both albums as well as a few that I believe have yet to be released. The show wasn’t close to sold out, so we had plenty of room to move around. Overall, it was an enjoyable if generic show.
