There's a glam element to Hiss & Chambers, the Portland-based four-piece set to headline The Pill's regular festivities at Great Scott tonight. The sound is indie dance at its strongest, full of the driving beats and tight riffs that feel as if they would motivate the creme de la creme indie kids to get off their bar stools and take to the dance floor.
Hiss & Chambers, which features ex-Sheila Divine drummer Ryan Dolan, brings a confident intensity to its latest EP, "Making Eyes." Shawn Saindon's Robert Smith-reminiscent vocals and the layered guitars featured on the EP hint at bands from the 80s, but the band is capable of otherwise firmly keeping a listener's attention in the here and now.
