Born in Nashua, N.H., the Boston-based trio Hunter make brash, slightly gritty rock music. Charged by grunge, American roots and pop-punk influences, the three-piece’s sound is bright on the surface with a little bit of unsettling tension just below. Front person Hunter Stamas sings with incredible vigor, passion and emotional resonance. She leads the group through infectious tunes stocked with relatable lyrics. A standout cut, surf-rock jam “Que Sera, Sera” borrows sentiments — and a few lyrics — from the iconic Doris Day hit of the same name. Hunter play two nights in Plattsburgh, N.Y.: at Monopole on Friday, July 19, and at Olive Ridley’s on Saturday, July 20.
