Eight Gigs: B. Dolan

Thu., April 13, 6:30 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $18

2708 J Street, https://www.bdolan.net.

Rapper B. Dolan is a harbinger of neck snapping. His alcove of stress rap forms through sludge riff production that muddles the Run DMC “Rock Box” template. This ain’t your uncle’s crossover rap-rock. B. Dolan’s metabolizes metal and punk much like his friend and collaborator POS of Doomtree, while the anti-capitalist “Bleed Your Customer” and auteur activism of “Film The Police” leave no question of B. Dolan’s politics. If anger and disillusionment in this political climate are weighing you down, this is the show to exercise your right to put a fist up.
