A local metal band that has established itself as a leading light of the Bay Area headlines its biggest hometown show yet this Saturday when Charger takes the stage at the Starline Social Club in Oakland with veteran headbangers Black Cobra.
Anchored by Rancid/Operation Ivy bassist Matt Freeman, the fast-rising power trio started bashing out its pummeling tunes that take cues from Motörhead andThe threesome is rounded out by drummer Jason Willer — who also plays in Jello Biafra’s Guantanamo School of Medicine and has toured with British punk legedns UK Subs and Hawkwind’s Nik Turner — and former God Lives Underwater guitarist Drew McGee.
The pandemic dealt Charger a setback as far as performing live, but the group made the best of the downtime, issuing a double-A sided picture disc featuring the new tunes “Watch Your Back” and “Stay Down” in 2020. That single served as a precursor to Charger’s highly anticipated debut full-length album, which was released to wide acclaim last month.
The band’s eponymous self-released EP led to a deal with At a Loss Records, who put out Black Cobra’s savage debuta year later. While Martinez split his time between Black Cobra and playing bass for SF doom icons Acid King for a couple of years, he would return his focus to his main band for their third album and first for noted metal imprint Southern Lord, the acclaimed 2009 effortthat featured Martinez’s ferocious drums propelling a dizzying blitzkrieg of riffs from Landrian.
