Nary a word was spoken from the stage throughout TK Webb & the Visions' set last night at Manhattan's Bowery Ballroom, probably because only full-force, raspy screams could even begin to compete with the growling distortion of the band's two guitar assault. And so the Brooklyn-based Webb skipped the small talk in favor of hell-raising howls on 10 scorchers.

What? With their 2005 debut, countrified-rock outfit Magnolia Electric Co. asked a mind-boggling question: "What comes after the blues?" Three years later, Brooklyn-based troubadour TK Webb has found the answer, and it's pretty heavy, man.
