I saw the Baxbys live for the first time this year when the band I’m in played a show with them in Boston. Each member adds a simultaneously pleasant and exciting touch to the band’s overall sound. The punchy guitars pair up nicely with the singer’s smooth and evocative voice. Songs like “Junebug” and “Love Doesn’t Talk” give you a sense of their sound, though nothing does that as well as seeing them in person. You can do that at Baby’s All Right and hear their newest single, “Masses in Glasses.” —Henry McGrath
