Paper Magazine describes L.A. live favorite We Are The World as “pop [taken] to stranger outer space.” The group’s thrilling live performances and pounding bass have been winning over crowds in Los Angeles for a while now, playing with The Gossip, Fuck Buttons, Tricky and many others.

Tanlines are no strangers to remixes. Over the past year, they have remixed tracks from Au Revoir Simone, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Tough Alliance, Glasser, and most recently, Solid Ground. The Brooklyn production duo are now gearing up for the release of their new Settings EP, which is due out March 9th on True Panther.
The first single, “Real Life” (now available on iTunes) is a tropical jam, packed with complex percussion and haunting chants, akin to the group’s best work. A Memory Tapes remix of “Real Life” has surfaced, which will reportedly be included on the EP. The Memory Tapes remix remains true to the upbeat pulse of the original track, yet adds tender synths to this bouncy single.

W.E.C.L. is happy to bring you new music from L.A. roots rockers Rumspringa, fresh out of the studio. The band worked with Worlds End producer Manny Nieto to put together this engaging collection of hypnotic, blues-heavy songs for their forthcoming album.
While each track takes on its own vibe, as a whole, the new album deconstructs everything that we’ve come to expect from guitar-drums duos in the past, replacing these expectations with solid grooves that define Rumspringa’s Americana style.

Eccentric blues-rockers Vulture Whale officially release their new EP in stores today. Bamboo You, which has been available for free download on the band’s website since November, features a unique concept where the American band emulates the British music that has been the main influence on their developing style, even taking it as far as singing in a faux-Cockney accent for most of the record.
This risky gimmick has earned the praise from both fans and critics, who declare the EP as pure genius in the playful, humorous manner that we have come to expect from the Alabama quartet.
