Allah Las – Don’t Wanna Hear No More
Allah Las is a Los Angeles based band formed in 2008. Members of the surf city revisited covering the greater LA area. Throwback sounds of “The Old, Weird America”. A 1960s type of West Coast harmony coupled with surf tune breezes rambling though a thick psychedelic garage fuzz.
“We like future music. I like what people from the 60’s thought the future was going to sound like. What happened to that future?” – Pedrum Siadatian (electric guitar, vocals)
Black Lips – Modern Art
The self described ‘flower punk’ band, Black Lips, sounds like if Anton Newcombe not only discovered his garage punk roots, but also discarded his perfectionist qualities into a 60s black hole of chaos. !@#$ it! We’ll do it live. The production is in a low-fi haze, and the raw delivery is kissing the lips of flower-power throwback and forever smearing them black. Good? Bad? Definitely not evil.
The Babies – Meet Me in the City
The Babies. Side project of Woods bassist Kevin Morby, featuring Vivian Girls Cassie Ramone, and Justin Sullivan, drummer for Brooklyn band Bossy.
It’s a shambling mix of guitar-pop hooks and low-fi surf sounds straddling the line between the Vivians’ garage pop vibe and the Woods’ alt-country stoner-folk melodies.
The Strange Boys
Let’s go back in time and play a fictitious game where conceivably you’re placed in a comprising situation where you can influence the thoughts of Mark David Chapman, the clinically depressed and obsessed Beatle murderer. You have no choice but to either off Paul McCartney or John Lennon by controlling the voices in Chapman’s head. But alas, you try and work outside the experiment and your repeated attempts to voice the idea of shooting Ringo Star, the worst Beatle, fails. Now enter The Strange Boys an American garage, blues, rock ‘n’ roll band. Their resulting song, Should Have Shot Paul, transfixes all those guilt ridden thoughts into a 1min 54sec melody of beautiful agony.
