For a Monday night, the Echoplex in Los Angeles was quite packed out. SWIMM, Florida-to-Los Angeles transplants as of 2015, followed Andy Clockwise, aptly thanking him for the blast-happy performance. It was SWIMM’s last night of their residency at the Echoplex, and the two-piece, now expanded to five performers, wrapped it in pure rock and […]
Telegram – comprised of singer Matt Saunders, bassist Oli Paget-Moon, drummer Jordan Cook, and guitarist Matt Wood – hails from London, having played together since 2013. That year BBC 6 Music’s Marc Riley’s debuted their first single, “Follow,” which quickly catapulted their sound and fan desire.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra has always personified the exotic, mysterious, and highly intense, even in those pop music moments, while at the same time being eagerly accessible. At the Auckland via Portland band’s 2013 SXSW performance at the Red Eyed Fly, frontman Ruban Nielson played to the crowd, already enamored with UMO’s self-titled debut, and at […]
Temples made a big splash in the states last year at SXSW due to their live appearances featuring songs from the band’s debut, Sun Structures, on Fat Possum. Their wave of psychedelic magic hasn’t mellowed in the slightest, earning them the number one spot on Rough Trade’s albums of 2014.
