Had we written a review after their uproarious debut show in February at Signature Brew, it might have read something like this:<\/p>\n

“The Power could just as easily have called themselves Chinese\u00c2\u00a0<\/a>Fire Drill<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0and we wouldn’t be surprised if they’d been insensitive enough to do it.<\/p>\n

With all three members — Jason Brennan, Scott Dolbee and Jesse Romine — filling in variously on guitar, bass and drums, the band’s live show is an exercise in controlled chaos.<\/p>\n

The Power is really two bands in one. Dolbee (formerly the drummer for the Sylva old-school punk band UPASS) pens quick, catchy pop-punk tunes that highlight his earnest voice and dashing good looks. Romine (previously known locally as a filmmaker and occasional sol0 acoustic performer) tends more toward a strummy country\/folk approach, with hilariously crass lyrics and a manic — perhaps even maniacal –\u00c2\u00a0stage presence.”<\/p>\n

We really should have interviewed them, because they’d have said hilarious things.<\/p>\n
