ColdFusion
‘bipolar’

Taking a page from mainstream alt-rock acts such as Trapt and Hoobastank, ColdFusion successfully meld aggressive rock vocals with beautiful melodies on their latest effort, “bipolar.” The album — which is comprised of 10 well-polished tracks — jumps back and forth quite nicely between euphonic slower numbers to in-your-face rock and roll.

This is fitting given the album’s title and will have you head-banging one minute and waving your lighter in the air the next. Tracks such as “Pain of Tragedy” and “Before I Wake” are clear stand-outs, sounding like radio singles just waiting to blow up. B+ Next show: 10 p.m. June 19 at The Sets, 93 E. Southern Ave., Tempe, . $8 under 21; $7 for those 21-and-over.
