Noise Pop knows how to throw a party and that was evident when Carpool Tunnel played at Bottom of the Hill last week as part of the venue's farewell concert series.
Both the music fest and venue have long been a proving ground for emerging indie bands and Thursday's show was no different.
The San Francisco-based band, formed in 2017, has built a cult-like following with its energetic live shows and catchy, guitar-driven indie-rock songs.
It's no surprise they walked onto the stage as Hoobastank's "The Reason" played — a nod to some of the early-2000s vibe shaping their sound that's reminiscent in the lead singer's own emotive, confessional delivery.
Bright, crunchy guitars and explosive choruses powered a set built for a singalong that proved how easily their hooks translate live.
As Bottom of the Hill prepares to close its doors, the crowd made clear San Francisco still shows up — especially for its own.
