PICTUREPLANE

June 4th I'm going to Unit B to see Pictureplane and I'm pretty excited to hear his beats live. My friend showed me his music and was saying their is a resemblance to Grimes (Which I love). I can definitely hear some similarities for sure, but there is still a difference in sound where it doesn't sound like I have heard of it before.
Check out his work and download what you can.
Pictureplane is rad and I'm excited for a great night June 4th.

PALMA VIOLETS

An English garage rock band from Lambeth, London. I'm attracted to their sound so much is probably because it reminds me of Arctic Monkeys if Alex Turner was a younger and more psychedelic rockish sort of fella. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone else but me, but that's what comes first to my mind when asked to describe their sound. I'm currently listening too 'Best of Friends' along with watching their music video for the song. If you take the free download below I suggest seeing them live if you can, not only will their show be tons of fun but they are all babes. Ya can't loose if you go to their shows.

GET CUBS

Get Cubs is a couple of talented lads from the UK. After listening to their album I can say their song 'I Can't Tell' is my fav. Their sound reminds me of a mix between Los Campesinos and the Givers. I hope to see Get Cubs with some gigs in LA in the future because their live youtubes seem to have a lot of energy and would make a fun night.
Check out their current tour right now HERE!
See if you can make it out to one of their shows I wish I could go too.
