J Roddy Walston and The Business are everything a Rock and Roll band should be. No gimmicks, no effects, just four guys who play straight forward music that you can’t help but enjoy. Baltimore is better-known for mellow indie rockers like Beach House and the Celebration, but that will soon change. Lucky for us, J Roddy and his Business moved here from Tennessee five years ago, bringing along their unique blend of Southern Rock guitar riffs and Queen-style vocal harmonies and the capacity to put on a live show that will leave you wanting 10 encores. You can see for yourself when they play tonight at The Khyber to celebrate their Vagrant Records debut which comes out today. — ALEX FINE
