I'm decided to review Wounded Lion and Best Coast being that they are the most recent releases. (and both bands are from LA!!!)
Wounded Lion- "Friendly" 7inch
8.0 out of 10

Wounded Lion is a LA band that has been catching my eye lately, they've been playing with band such as Ty Segall, No Age and Vivian Girls. This 7" is their only available release so far until their LP on In The Red comes out (TBA). The band has been described as part Velvet Underground, Modern Lovers, and Jesus and Mary Chain. The record starts off with the single "Friendly?" a noisy percussive post-punk fucked up blues jam with some real silly "makes no sense" lyrics. The song is will get your head bomping and your hand reaching for the volume knob to crank it up! The next song "Big Boots" is a straight Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers punk jam. Believe it or not they finish the record with a mind blowing Creedence Clearwater Revival cover, you've never heard bad moon rising this way and will never hear it again like this. If the full length is anything like this one I'm sure you'll be seeing their name in much bigger blogs than mine.
Here's a vinyl rip of "Friendly?"
next is...
Best Coast- "Something in the Way" 7inch
7.5 out of 10
