Vialka – “Curiosities of Popular Customs” – [Self-release]

Eric Boros on guitar and Marylise Frechville on drums constitute Vialka, and they both contribute their quirky voices to these songs sung in French (their home tongue) and in English. These are fun jams with elements of punk, folk, prog, Old-World, fast-paced energy punctuated by “yelps and howls” that are just what the doctor ordered to spice up a lethargic set.
