The Who: Dark Waves (Los Angeles, CA) The What: Dark Waves made its live presence known last July in Los Angeles, CA but since then, the moody, synth-pop band fronted by the dark and broodish good looks of Nick Long has released a self-titled EP that reads like a romantic ache brushed with noir-ish intimacy. Directed by Djay Brawner, take this […]
The Who: Ewert and the Two Dragons The What: Even if you can’t quite locate Ewert Sundja, Erki Parnoja, Kristjan Kallas and Ivo Ettihomeland’s native Republic of Estonia on a map, a little geography fail need not prevent you from digging what the indie quartet known as Ewert and the Two Dragons, has to offer. Directed by Kaimar Kukk and filmed in […]
The Who: Smallpools (Los Angeles, CA) The What: It’s hard to believe but in early 2013, Los Angeles quartet Smallpools were barely a band. Equally incredible, the fact that without ever having played a live show, they found themselves signed to RCA Records and releasing a self-titled EP containing the single, “Dreaming,” which literally took over the summer.

The Who: Dead Sara (Los Angeles, CA) The What: Depending upon who you ask, they’re the saviors of rock n roll. Around here we call them badass and possibly the most fiercely talented collective foursome of youth, ambition and pure talent that we’ve seen in many years and what a beautiful thing. They’re Emily Armstrong (vox, guitar), Siouxsie Medley (lead guitar), Chris Null […]
The Who: Kongos (Phoenix, AZ) The What: South Africa natives and brothers Johnny, Jesse, Dylan and Daniel Kongos pretty much steamrolled over 2014 as you couldn’t speed search your car radio without landing on a station playing “Come With Me Now” three times during the morning rush hour. But there’s more to dig about this familial foursome. Capturing live performance moments from their 2014 […]
The Who: Ceasefire (Orange County, CA) The What: In what is surely their most ambitious music video yet, Orange County, California’s Ceasefire have aimed higher than ever: think to infinity and beyond. Since 2011, Ray Alexander (vox), Kamren Alexander (guitar) and Anthony Hainsworth (drums) have made music directed at the heart and their latest single, “No Tomorrow,” is no different. Kamren describes […]
