Cursive: Some might call them emo or something. But that term's dead to us. Their new record Mama , I'm Swollen was released this year and we were pleasantly surprised. |
Dakota Fish: This is Mike Fish. He surfs and writes and rocks at music. Check him out at Dakotafishmusic.com |
Delta Spirit at the Casbah in San Diego. |
Delta Spirit again inside the padded walls of the Cashbah |
Earthless: If you're looking for mind-altering metal. Find their record: Live at Roadburn. Our art director Chato swears by it. |
Grand Ol Party: Kristin Gundred is adorable. She plays drums. Sings like an angel. She's from San Diego as is her band Grand Ol Party. "We're not Republican," She told us, despite their band name. |
The Japanese Motors: Front man Alex Knost performs onstage at the Flying Elephant in Carlsbad. |
Matt Costa: After shattering his leg skating stairs. Matt picked up a guitar. As you can see that's going pretty well for him. Serenading the Casbah. |
The mattson 2: Well this is one of them at least. |
The Mattson 2: Oh there's the other brother. Jazzy skaters making good jazz. |
Russian Circles: This Chicago band just released their third album, Geneva. If you've never listened, go get it. I'm listening to it now and my life feels much more dramatic. |
The Drowning Men: This band had Jordy Smith spilling cocktail all over the dance floor at the premiere for Stranger Than Fiction last year. |
The Dutchness and the Duke: Dane approved. Their new record came out this week. It's called Sunset/Sunrise. Or Irie Evening Sesh/Dawn Patrol in surf lingo. |
The Entrance Band: A sneak peak at next month's Sounds band from Chicago. |
The Fresh and ONlys: Another epic bar band. |
