Local band Luna Is Honey released a new song, entitled "No Moon", and it's quite a jam. The vocals are practically buried under guitars loaded with reverb and overdrive, but it's one of those songs where you don't need to hear what's being said to understand the feelings being portrayed. Labeled as post-punk, which is an interesting enough moniker, they definitely carry punk roots in the frenetic drums and heavy guitars. But they transcend labels adding shoegazey-guitars and an unavoidable fun sound to keep your toes tapping. They play many local shows so keep up to date with [...]
Luna Is Honey is a four piece from LA and they recently dropped a new single, "No Moon". There's some 802s, there's some 902s, and a whole lot of energy found on this track which features a smorgasbord of sounds; there's the surf guitars of the intro, the crusty distortion of the chorus and Crampton's vocals ingrained deeply in the chaos. The track is a time machine of fun and you might find while listening that "No Moon" is strangely danceable, but I'd suggest you have a few before you get up to shake. Connect: [...]
So much to draw from, and, seemingly, so little time. The music of L.A. four-piece Luna Is Honey is like a filter that's retained bits and pieces of everything that's been poured through it — '80s New Wave, R&B, shoegaze and '90s alt-rock, to name a few. The latter two figure influences prominently on the quartet's forthcoming "Coolbreeze" EP, the follow-up to 20112s sexier full-length "Sex Museum." Singer-guitarist Josh Crampton, abetted by guitarist Adrian Acosta, bassist Jay Francisco and percussionist Amorn Bholsangngam, charges through rough-hewn guitar rock that's tuneful enough to stick and complex enough to play on [...]

Last summer the Los Angeles band Luna Is Honey landed in our This Week's Top 5 Most Played Songs series a couple of times. First, in June when the opening groove to the song "Who Wouldn't" caught our ear, and again in July when they landed in the top spot of that week's list with their most impressive song "Claws." Both songs are off their critically acclaimed EP, Copy Cats, which they released digitally last year, and so when we received an email that the band is getting ready to release a new ten-track album said to [...]
Aurora Armijo Luna is Honey "Claws" (From Copy Cats out now on Model City Music) Copy Cats has an early '80s Duran Duran/Adam Ant sound. The album itself is lo-fi, but mixed well enough that you can hear everything and jam out to the Chorus Pedal'd guitars and vocals. The vocals are surprisingly well-delivered, with the kind of youthful arrogance that simultaneously creates envy and annoyance. The keyboards by Elijah Crampton of are definitely a welcome addition—everyone's a sucker for something [...]

From the Chaff (in reference to this idiom ) is a semi-regular series where we post things that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks. Whether it's singles, EPs or just MP3s that we like, it's a place for us to collect the things we've heard lately but haven't had a chance to write about yet. Luna Is Honey - Claws "Claws" is one of those jams that doesn't seem to do much at first, but then you [...]

Aight Y'all. I have been out of pocket a lot lately, so I am just starting to get caught up on everything.

It has been hotter than frikkin' hot here in Southern California. Yesterday topped 100 degrees, and I'm sure today will do the same. It was SO hot... (how hot was it?)... it was SO hot that President Obama called me up and said to me, "Swap, I need that Top 5 list NOW, man! NOW!!!!" I scratched my head as I wondered... why would he need the list "now" just because it's so hot outside? And is Obama-san in Southern California? Instead of calling him back only to get yelled at, I sent him [...]
