Pears' new album ,"Green Star," is over quicker than a frat boy's first time. The songs are short, sweet, and raunchy, and played at break-neck speed. And you thought Zeke was fast. This New Orleans band sounds like a soundtrack to a bar fight: vicious, fast, and fun.

Pears plays with Such Gold, Druse, Hideout, and Gunnar Stahl on Friday, April 15, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $10-$12. bugjar.com; pearstheband.bandcamp.com.
