Varsity Drag, the Boston Globe reports, “singer-guitarist Ben Deily is no stranger to fizzy, fastbreak pop, having made his bones by cofounding a little band called the Lemonheads two decades ago…. these days he’s joined by bassist-singer-spouse Lisa Deily and drummer Joshua Pickering. “Night Owls,’’ the group’s latest effort….is a nervy, brisk bolt through a set of tunes whose crisp sound and bittersweet temperament pre-dates the alternative rock that would morph into “grunge’’ - but thankfully post-dates it too.’’  To hear Varsity Drag, visit www.myspace.com/varsitydrag
