THE SAPIENS Preview New Single, Play Schubas Tonight

Chicago’s most stylish rockers, The Sapiens, are previewing a new single online. The single, “Rind,” is a mid-tempo track fueled by a swaggering guitar groove that sounds great alongside the six songs on the band’s 2007 EP, “Vs. the Hornet” (reviewed here).

The band garnered a healthy amount of attention last year with the release of the EP, a burst of jittery rock ‘n’ roll that drew on everything from punk to electro to 60s garage. The tunes even earned them a place on the “Chicago’s Next Big Bands” list by Jim DeRogatis.

The Sapiens play Schubas tonight with the Rikters and Silverghost.
