Can two people constitute a ferocious rock band? When they’re as mean, tight, and talented as Intruder 424 are, they certainly can. Brothers Pete and Chris Biggiani prove they don’t need extra wattage, copious overdubs, or elaborate arrangements to make an indelible impression. Instead, they’ve perfected the basics: distorted, ringing six-string, pounding drums, impassioned vocals, singalong choruses, and hooks and riffs that go straight to the backbone. Sibling telepathy is easy to hear in “Make It Out Alive,” their latest single. Saying the Biggianis are on the same wavelength is a profound understatement. Together, they create a single signal that’s strong, clear, integral, and resonant.
“Make It Out Alive” sounds full, bracing, and lively: it’s got the crunch of an arena-rock favorite, the propulsion of a basement punk party-starter, and the color, personality, and attitude we’ve come to associate with Jersey music. Yet its component parts are elemental: one guitar, one kit, one voice. The brothers are perfectly in sync and respond to each other brilliantly: riffs and drum fills locked together in a fierce embrace, vocals and drums delivering the same message of urgency.
