Bosnian Rainbows

In the hastily performed autopsy of art-rock chameleons the Mars Volta, founding guitarist and producer Omar Rodríguez-López has been cast as the mustachioed villain—but he’d actually grown frustrated with his role as resident whip-cracker. His eventual solution? Start a new band. Bosnian Rainbows is certainly more democratic, but the group’s music snaps with just as much unpredictable intensity, audible on the band's self-titled debut disc, out now. Jersey City post-hardcore faves Rye Coalition join in for the sold out Maxwell's gig.
