There’s a new band of local-music vets kicking up some noise as the Valley Few, and a new EP they’re promoting Saturday at the 331 club confirms that they, too, are something to behold. The quintet is led by Mike Brady (ex-Accident Clearinghouse) and includes Walker Kong Members Tony Mogelson, Kevin Riach and Peter Robeilia, plus Paul DesCombaz. This is their most killer stuff yet. The eponymous debut kicks off with the snarly rocker “All the Good Girls Are Gone” and burns through four more scrappy , choppy, exuberant gems that sound like Television’s tangled guitars with Kinks/Big Star pop melodies and the Hold Steady’s haggard energy.
