Monstro Flora is a band from Los Angeles with roots in Austin, TX and songs that reveal the not always pretty trail of late night drinks, loss, hope, wonder, recklessness, love, heart break and mystery, exploring both the beautiful and the terrible sides of experience. The band employs dynamic extremes of light and dark with a bold and at times delicately artful approach to pop sensible songs. While their recorded material showcases their uncommon songwriting ability and talent for studio arrangements, itâs their live show that carries the material to an exciting and passionately charged setting where they truly come together as a band.

By: minor me Website
Minor Me recently released a rough but compelling E.P. titled The Pressure / The Pleasure, and is offering it as a free download at their Bandcamp page. Led by wordsmith/songwriter Edgar Acosta, the L.A.-based band sounds like a punky, garage-y version of Death Cab for Cutie, and takes as its inspiration the musical stylings of Jack White, Kim Deal, and Leonard Cohen.Standout track âMore Than a Millionâ reveals itself as the source of the E.P.âs title, as Acosta sings plaintively, âThe pressure I feel, after revealing, after reveal / The pleasure you give is more than a million.â Itâs an upbeat but wistful track that brings to mind the flashpan relationships we all have in youth, and yearning that can only be expressed in vocabulary as quick and deft as a pipe bomb. Click âDownload Now,â enjoy, and stay tuned for a flurry of L.A. Minor Me shows in 2012!

Admiral Grey brings I Feel Awesome to west coast
Audio: Pray Don't Pray (MP3, 0.04mb) Download Now
By: I Feel Awesome Website
Admiral Grey comes out west this October with her new project I Feel Awesome. Formerly the bassist/vocalist for heavy postpunk mid-aughts band Drayton Sawyer Gang, her music dipped into lo-fi melodic territory with her solo project Duck and Swallow before bringing a big sound back to the scene with the otherworldly Glass Lamborghini.IFA is a merging of Glass Lamborghiniâs futuristic sound with the minimalist sound of her simpler solo work, yet it occupies a singular space. Pounding a suitcase while incanting new wave tunes with existential lyrics along to polyrhythmic beats, Admiral employs casios to a spacial level in songs that are melodic, apocalyptic and tribal yet surprisingly bounce off of the tenets of pop and dance and ricochet back into experimental territory.

LA's Seasons release surreal new music video
This latest music video from Los Angeles indie rockers Seasons is a CG-infused look at a day in the life of Vera (Mahaley Manning, "Easy A"), a girl with speakers in her skin and no volume knob to control the music she's constantly emitting. Her surreal existence makes it tough to hold down a job or spend a quiet evening at home with the boyfriend, so Vera heads out to search for answers to her problems.

You can download the track for free by liking the band on Facebook at facebook.com/honestiagomusic.

shoegaze/dream pop band in Heaven first music video shot on 8mm in California's now defunct Mannyland Ranchfrom the NorseKorea tape release Seven Minutes in Heaven :http://thebandinheaven.bandcamp.com/album/seven-minutes-in-heaven"If you dig the spacey, droning haze of NYCâs seminal Velvet Underground, Tx.âs primordial psych-pioneers the 13th Floor Elevators or even the dreamy revivalist mantras of such modern-day revisionists as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Brian Jonestown Massacre or The Warlocks, this buzzworthy duo will make you smile, nod out and fumble for a massive glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Their informed, crate-digger take on a genre which seems on the cusp of a major resurgence has all the lazy bombast of The Jesus & March Chain at their least âmatureâ: itâs a numbing wall of fuzzed-out bass, distorted guitar, combo organ and hypnotic, pounding drums drenched in echo and insouciantly bedraggled."
