This Philadelphia band finds itself tagged as 'roots rock' a lot. Often enough for it to become a bit of a kiss of death. Thankfully, their music is able to show up neatly for any one curious enough to see what lies beneath the cliched genre tag. Solid rock n' roll for the No Depression set, Marah have a decade's worth of credentials behind them, but the arrival of a new member, Christine Smith, has provided welcome respite from ten years of familiarities. As such, Angels of Destruction! is not a reinvention so much as a revitalization--a confident restating of the original manifesto of gutsy homages to Springsteen and Dylan.
