The Growlers – Foghorn Town

With their 80s-infused take on raw, rumbling garage rock, Los Angeles-based band The Growlers have shared their sultry new single Foghorn Town. It is the second release from their upcoming LP Natural Affair.

Mikal Cronin – Show Me

Following a few rough years of touring, relationships beginning and ending, and writer’s block, Mikal Cronin decided to make a change. He packed up and retreated to Idyllwild, a small town in the mountains of southern California, where he spent a month in the cabin, alone. The solitude proved fruitful, with the bulk of forthcoming long player Seeker being written and demoed during this time … Continue reading Mikal Cronin – Show Me
