Joy Downer—the moniker for local duo (and live three-piece) as well as the legal name of the band’s frontwoman—has been busy. If you follow them on Soundcloud, you may have noticed that new covers and demos appeared quietly on their page in the past week. It is only the tip of the iceberg.  We’ve known […]

Straight out of a scene from one of those high school mean girls movies, LA’s Egg Drop Soup have dropped a pretty amazing video for their debut single “Partying Alone.” The song is a fiery number that will get you stickin’ up your dukes.

Listen to it exclusively below and grab tickets to their upcoming True […]

illiterates waste no time thrashing to the point with their new single “My Enemy.” In true punk fashion, the track is hard, fast and loud. It bangs with manic drums, fierce guitar riffs and it gets super weird around the 40-second mark. You may feel a bit disoriented for a few hot seconds, but “My […]
