It’s too bad that “The Fast and the Furious” was the name of a crummy movie about the harrowing drama of dirtbag street-car races, because it’s a perfect description for the music of Gangcharger.

The Denver band formed a year ago to play noisy, lacerating rock with ferocious intensity, drawing plenty of notice and earning spots on the bill at local music showcases. In December, Gangcharger released its debut EP, “Metal Sun,” four songs of experimental churning that sometimes call to mind no less than Sonic Youth. High praise indeed.
