Last year’s debut from Atlanta’s Places To Hide was a quick, crisp half-hour of sturdy and studied punk. “Nowhere Bound” is the first song from their new EP and you can tell that the band is starting to stretch out and experiment a little bit. It starts off with some soft coos that sound like they could be from a ’60s surf jam before settling into smoky stoner rock, rounded out by mellow boy/girl vocals. Their lack of enunciation is part of their charm — indictments of suburbia are well-trod ground, but Places To Hide sell it because they sound completely over it.
