Critic’s Choice: School Knights, May 27 at the Fox Theatre

If you read the act’s self-penned bio, it sounds like School Knights was born out of two guys hijacking an established band. The truth of that story may never be known. But what is known is that drummer Zack Roif and guitarist Michael Stein don’t seem to overthink the music they make. As a result, the duo’s fun-loving, surfy garage punk has earned local notice. As the house band of Astroland, the only long-running DIY space of recent years in Boulder, School Knights (due at the Fox Theatre on Friday, May 27) has honed its craft through countless shows with friends near and far. With immediately catchy songs and boundless enthusiasm on their side, these guys will soon be anything but an underground secret.
