Sarathan proudly announces the release of War Tapes' debut eponymous EP. This Los Angeles 4-piece successfully creates epic anthems of angst, blending the attitude and edge of today's post-hard-core scene with an appealing nod to 80's new-wave and post-punk. All the while, War Tapes demonstrates a knack for creating huge hooks and sing along choruses. "Dreaming of You" | download Myspace | Gigs | [...]

"Heart Quaking Doom-Pop, from California" "In just a few short years, War Tapes have become a staple of the local scene, with the band playing everything from Hollywood dance nights to South L.A. loft parties. In between charming hipsters with their self-proclaimed (via MySpace) "heart-quaking doom-pop," the band have been courting the gothabilly crowd with dates opening for Tiger Army.

Then I played the first two tracks, and still thought it was a joke band. But as I continued to listen, I realized there's some real talent here. [...]

I'm not a huge political buff; I know enough to have a more valid than most conversation. But if it were up to me, I'd rather discuss music. Such as...new to the site artist, War Tapes . Katy, from Sarathan Records , a small indie label from Seattle, hit me up today with an offer to give an ear to this new group whom I had previously known nothing about. Mentioning that they have been described as "Interpol meets AFI with a dose of The Cure", I'd [...]
