New Music: “Eviction Notice” by Lilly Jacques with Lucas & The Savages

I ran an indie rock radio station for a couple years, and one of the real joys of that gig was combing through Bandcamp and Spotify and other places looking for new bands that weren’t yet making waves on the radio but deserved a shot. Lilly Jacques’s “Eviction Notice” is exactly the kind of song I would have chosen. Hard-charging, angst-filled relationship rock that pulls no punches. Made by a teenager based in Albany, NY, “Eviction Notice” is exactly what I’d expect to hear blasting out of a garage on a summer night, the kind of music that characters in John Hughes movies bang their rebellious heads to. I’m long past Breakfast Club age, but I refuse to give up my right to the adrenaline-drenched music of youth, and this single hits all my spots. I shared it with a singer-songwriter friend who texted back, “The kids are all right.” I agree. Turn it up.
