That new Death Valley Girls track is so ill it gives me chills. As I hit play on my new songs playlist, without even looking, I knew it was Death Valley Girls. You can recognize Bonnie Bloomgarden’s gritty-sweet vocals from a mile away. “Disaster (Is What We’re After)” is the lead single off Death Valley […]

Currently in the studio recording the follow-up to their debut full-length record, Death Valley Girls have had quite the kick-ass year. We’ve seen this band grow since 2013 when we first spotlighted them with a Hot Band Alert feature. At that time, not many people had heard of them, let alone had caught Death Valley […]

A few years ago we discovered Atlanta punk trio The Coathangers and fell in love with their ferocious album Suck My Shirt.

Hear new songs such […]

Nothing like a satanic worship themed show to kick off the summer rock. This past Thursday night, Los Angeles’ very own Death Valley Girls celebrated their highly anticipated record release show at The Echo. Smashing out tunes from their new album Glow In The Dark, it was a hot and sweaty affair. The house was packed! But […]

We’ve been rocking out to Death Valley Girls since they first grabbed our attention in 2013, which of course resulted in a Hot Band Alert feature. We dug them so much, we even booked them at a Grimy Goods Presents show. Their 2014 debut album, Street Venom, rocked our brains out. Two years later, the four […]

Wednesday night at The Echo will be wild with a headlining set by the Atlanta-based punk band, The Coathangers. We have covered these babes since 2014’s Burger-A-Go-Go, where they slayed alongside other female-fronted bands, and they continue to slay. Ahem, do you see that picture of lead vocalist Crook Kid Coathanger? The Coathangers are currently […]

As if last year’s Echo Park Rising didn’t already blow us away, this year the team behind the local festival has brought us a stellar lineup this time around. The lineup will feature Dengue Fever, Man or Astro Man?, Fever the Ghost, J-Rocc, Mr.Elevator & The Brain Hotel, Hanni EL Khatib, Deap Valley, Screaming Females, […]

If you were there, you already know it was quite the day party than ran on into the evening. From garage, psych, indie and more—all shades of the rock ‘n’ roll rainbow were present. […]
