Demo to Dero: Noise By Numbers
Despite the cheeky, hinting-at-generic sounds moniker, Noise By Numbers draws inspiration from the fertile ’80s indie-rock scene of Husker Du, the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr. and their ilk as well as classic Chicago punk sounds like Naked Raygun and the Effigies.

You want fries with that rap?
Late last month four teens were cited for disorderly conduct in American Fork, Utah, after repeatedly (and, some would argue, hilariously) rapping their order at a McDonald's drive-through. "There've been quite a few media outlets that have tried to make it about the rapping," says American Fork police Sgt. Gregg Ludlow, "but that's not the case. It was the fact that they pulled in, they interrupted the business, they were swearing at the employees ... and just causing public annoyance or alarm," he alleges.

Demo2DeRo: Denise La Grassa
A veteran of the Second City Touring Company, suburban Chicago native Denise La Grassa made her mark in that talented troupe with a bit called "Make-A-Song," writing and performing tunes on the spot based on any topic the audience shouted out. That loose, carefree and immediate vibe still permeates her third album, the recent DIY release "April Dreams," but don't let it fool you into thinking the music is tossed-off.
