On the outstanding track "Turn It Up", New York band Young Lords sound like a twangier version of the Rolling Stones, the twangy part evident in the drawl in the voice of lead singer Blair Van Nort.   But the band's influences are many ("Pretty Little Mess" sounds like The Libertines, what with their slightly off-kilter vocals and jaggedly melodic arc), with hints of The Clash and even Tom Petty.

For our session, the band played four songs from its full-length record, Rodeo Songs.   This is a group that clearly can crank out some anthemic melodies and a band worth keeping your eyes on.  (Hey, you can even follow them on Twitter.)
