On Wednesday checked out a metal band called Dead Child, who were (I think) playing their first New York show. Dead Child feature members with some interesting pedigrees, like David Pajo (Slint, Zwan) and Michael McMahon (The For Carnation), so I gave it a shot. These guys love love love their old school heavy metal, particularly Iron Maiden, and formed a band that openly sounds just like their heroes. And they're good at it. They've all got great chops, and if you're a fan of that style of music, you'll probably dig. Pitchfork has more and an mp3, if you're curious.
