Happy to premiere a new single from Stockton, CA's Surf Club , headed by former Craft Spells member Frankie Soto. "Heaven" is a wistful track led by calm vocals and charming guitar tones, like if Jesus and Mary Chain had taken more hash instead of speed. This track comes as the band heads to LA for a batch of upcoming shows including one with Heathers, check the shows out below. Previously the band released the 103 Young Love EP via Death Party Records. 02/15 – Los Angeles, CA @ House Show [...]
Local Natives have remained noticeably quiet since their debut album, Gorilla Manor , came out in 2009. A few months ago the band that was formerly known as Cavil at Rest popped back up on everyone's radar. The band is gearing up to release their sophomore effort, Hummingbird, on January 29th. Check out this video of the band performing their single, "Heavy Feet," live at Origami Vinyl last month.
After years of fitful brilliance, all the elements came together as the FYF Fest came into its own as a major destination festival.
Bands and music lovers from Echo Park come out in full force to celebrate the burgeoning neighborhood music scene.
Anyone in LA looking for amazing vinyl and live music on Record Store Day (April 21st), Origami Vinyl is exactly where it's at.

Some new details on the fest, which Rawkblog is sponsoring: they'll have $3 beer and wine from 4-6 p.m. and cheap eats from Starry Kitchen all day. (And [...]
