All Aboard the Light Rail, the new EP from South Bay rockers 6 Speed Supernova, opens with an explosion. “Boom” channels the heavy pop sounds of bands like Heart and Dio—twisting chugging riffs and triumphant lead guitars around powerful female vocals. The message is clear: These guys came to the party to rock. From there the EP winds through a variety of eclectic sounds, demonstrating the group’s funkier and mellower sides on songs like “Pinwheel,” “Something Out There,” “Groovy Stars” and “A.I.” This Friday, the band celebrates its recent release with a show at the Willow Den Public House.
