Some say “never meet your heroes” as you’re likely to be left disappointed. However, for Randy Moore, an encounter (a fist bump) with Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo spurred him on to create a solo project, Bones Shredder<\/strong>. The San Jose multi-instrumentalist isn’t merely a newcomer. Having paid his dues in bands such as power punks Teens in Trouble and rock n’ rollers Get Married, before stints as a hired gun for the solo projects of Alkaline Trio<\/a>‘s Dan Andriano and Matt Skiba. With those reps under his belt, Bones Shredder<\/strong>‘s debut outing,\u00a0‘Morbid Little Thing,’\u00a0<\/em>firmly leans into those who have inspired Moore.<\/p>\n

Over the course of nine tracks in 26 minutes, Moore serves up an addictive set of garage-infused power-pop songs. With help from his brother, Dylan, on drums, and Sim Castro and Nick O\u2019Connor on keys, he creates a horror-influenced fa\u00e7ade that playfully counters the record\u2019s melody-heavy core. Though the album and song titles hint at something bleak, Moore and company deliver short, sharp hooks such as ‘Daylight’<\/em> and ‘Stay\u00a0<\/em>Away’<\/em><\/span> that prove to be irresistibly catchy.<\/p>\n
