The Heavy Pets Loose, loud and likable, this Fort Lauderdale, Fla., band has plenty of hooks but enough drawl and swing to keep them from sounding “too” poppy. Like the Low Life, they’ve gotten their sound by being a jam band with a tighter belt around guitar solos, giving them a diverse range without boring anyone. There’ll be some stretches of instrumental breaks with organ flourishes and the quintessential wah-wah pedal, but expect more “songs” than just noodling around. $10.
