For those that missed out on Alvvays’s sold-out Rock and Roll Hotel stop in October, one can only hope they snagged a ticket to the band’s sold-out 9:30 Club stop this time around. And for good reason, too: Antisocialites overcame the feared sophomore slump to become one of the more widely-beloved albums of 2017. The latest album from the Toronto band (it’s pronounced ‘always,’ by the way) is a saccharine blend of dream pop and indie rock that fits on a Netflix series as much as it could fit on a John Hughes film. It’s the kind of music that can uplift you and get you ready for the day at hand, even if it’s a song that puts down people in rubber-soled shoes. So although it only feels like yesterday that they were last in DC, it was a welcome sight to see them return and selling out a venue twice as big as their last.
