Indie Spotlight: Pebaluna

Photo

It's obvious Lauren Coleman spent her childhood listening to Aretha Franklin in her parents' car and her Sundays singing in a Las Vegas church choir. As an adult, she infuses Pebaluna, the band named after her lost dog, with soulful vocals reminiscent of the Motown era but also tinged with reggae, country,… more

Indie Spotlight: Lost Weekend

Photo

If you love Passion Pit, then you'll love this foursome from Winnipeg, Canada, which pays homage to New Wave and 90s alt with electro-pop that's as contemporary as it is deep.

Photo

As the name Canto would suggest (its origin is Latin for 'to sing'), this up-and-coming Los Angeles garage rock band would rather do nothing else. The trio is a family affair consisting of brothers Seamus Blackwell (vocals, guitar), Aidan Blackwell (bass), and David Blackwell (drums). Following up their debut album HA HA HA is Ride Away,… more

Photo

When his first band, Holden, broke up in 2007, Tommy Cantillon left New York and returned to his roots in Santa Barbara, ready for Act II.
