Though the music scene has been an abundance of bands that using the prefix of ‘Wolf’ in its names over the past few years, there is a new band that takes on the name of our favorite furry predators. The British-based band Wolf People are doing the hunting rather than being the hunted. With a
THIS JUST IN! Intrepid reporter Lauren Novik writes: “Saint Motel is playing both Sunset Junction and the Sunset Strip Music Fest- the only artist to do that!” You heard it on BestNewBands.com first!
In a studio warehouse in Orange, Ca, there dwells a band of brothers. Brothers set to do what no other band has ever done before…alright. You got me. Though that unnecessarily epic intro may not have been essential to this piece it is quite true. Meet Pilot Whale. A group of five guys that somehow
I first met Active Child’s Patrick Grossi while he was opening for Islands and Steel Phantoms at The Loft in Dallas in July. We chatted about how the tour was going, and he gave me a copy of his Curtis Lane EP. At first, I was struck by the nonchalanct generosity with which he gave
In a city where the female troubadour pops up as frequently as a blonde bombshell, Fay Wolf bucks the trend.

So I didn’t think twice when I left L.A. for a day to head to Santa Barbara for Loomis & The Lust’s show at the Cold Spring Tavern. Usual nonsense, made sure I had my gear, my wits, etc. What I didn’t know is that I needed my passport. It was a two and a
Sometimes you head out to see one band, and end up also falling love with another. I was so excited for The Upsidedown show last night at The Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles (watch for an exclusive interview with The Upsidedown to come soon!) I didn’t expect to fall in love with another. But Magic
West Virginia isn’t a place you’d expect for a band whose primary influences are classic rock and Brit-pop. But Novaflow defies the odds. Many in the area are fans of either country or heavy metal, which has stacked the deck against the Huntington trio. For a band sounding more like James or Oasis than John
