Movie Club is an instrumental psychedelic rock duo from Venice Beach. Well, I guess they’re garage/surf/funk too – they just can’t help themselves. Which is also true of “Moonbow“, the first single to be released from their upcoming EP “Man o’ War” which is out this March. In this new single, psychedelic riffs meet heavyContinue reading “Movie Club: Moonbow”

Stephen McCloskey: Whatever EP

Stephen McCloskey has a journeyman’s background, but he may have just found the road home. Having been part of several successful local bands in the past, including Watershed, The Dead Waits and The Hunky McCoy’s Blues Band, he’s going it alone and so far, it sounds like an excellent decision. Released in late November 2019,Continue reading “Stephen McCloskey: Whatever EP”

Best Coast- Fade Away

I had only heard Best Coast’s debut, ‘Crazy For You’ because it somehow ended up on my laptop. I liked a few tracks off it like ‘Boyfriend’ and ‘I Want To’, and I dug the whole surf/dream pop thing. What stood out though were the lyrics, which I thought were as predictable as water being wet.Continue reading “Best Coast- Fade Away”
