Introducing…CAPITAL CITIES! ELECTRO-POP DUO RELEASE DEBUT SELF TITLED EP VIA LAZY HOOKS!

Los Angeles-based electro-pop duo Capital Cities isn’t afraid to let the Southern California sunshine seep into their music. Synth-tastically bright, danceable and catchy, yet maintaining a depth that reflects the band’s roots in San Francisco, Paris and Armenia, it’s loaded with appeal. Perhaps it’s the vintage Juno-106 heard punching out across their self-titled debut EP, or the unique timbre of frontmen Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian’s blended vocals. Either way,…

THIN LIZZY SET TO ROCK NORTH AMERICA THIS FALL OPENING FOR JUDAS PRIEST

It’s almost impossible to find a modern day hard rock/heavy metal band that doesn’t list Thin Lizzy as an influence. So the band couldn’t have picked a better time to launch an arena tour, opening for Judas Priest on their farewell “Epitaph Tour.” Comprised of a kick ass line-up featuring such Phil Lynott-era Lizzies as guitarist Scott Gorham, drummer Brian Downey, and keyboardist Darren Wharton, as well as Guns N’…

The recording of Dark Mean’s debut album began sometime in 2007. During this period band members Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston released two “work in progress” EPs without expectation.

Gypsy Treasures Premiere New Video For “Four Horsemen”

The LA/SF based Gypsy Treasures premieres a dizzying new video. Directed by Samantha Gurry, Tiny Mix Tapes says “It’s a good example of Gypsy Treasure’s psychedelic stupor. Think Sun City Bishops with Gocher presiding over stereotypes of Middle Eastern/Eastern European origin.” Gypsy Treasures is the sole document of artist Aria Jalali’s mid-2000s basement raga project in which blown-out faux-modal guitar lines snake and coil under a cavernous reverb chamber while…
