Local psych-riffers Apteka are releasing their new LP, Gargoyle Days, at the Empty Bottle tonight, and we’ve got the epic debut single available for your listening pleasure.

Last month, Apteka opened at Jane’s Addiction’s two-night stint at the Metro, and it’s easy to hear why based on the new track, “Striking Violet.”

After beginning with a cacophony of jet engine riffage, the drums lay down a heavy-but-bouncy groove over over a dark and spacey guitar line. The song eventually builds to a powerful arena-rock coda with guitars blazing and vocals soaring. Listen to “Striking Violet” below:

And as stated above, if this song leaves you floored, celebrate the release of Gargoyle Days tonight at the Empty Bottle. Also performing are Sybris, The Bingers and Touched By Ghoul. The show kicks off at 9:30 p.m. tonight, is 21+ and is FREE!
