In October, honeyhoney came back from the praire fields with a new album that resurrects the lonely cowboy blues and serenades the soul. Their latest effort, Blly Jack, is a perfect ride through the old west, with a gentle breeze on your face and a lazy sunset to your back. Songs like Angel Of Death, Ohio, and Don’t Know How dance and tickle the heart with beautiful violins, haunting harmonies, and honey-kissed vocals. Accompanied with beautiful instrumentation and arrangements produced by both Suzanne Santo and Ben Jaffe, the deal on this disc is only sweetened and matched with their lonesome lyrics. honeyhoney is currently moseying out west now playing shows in support of Billy Jack, with a stop at the Troubadour in West Hollywood on November 13th. - Mary Broadbent
Funeral Party blends punk aesthetics infused with a nuevo Indie vibe that blows the doors off The Strokes, Killers, and Arcade Fire. This LA group breeds a new crop of the next generations distain for the mundane. Released on March 29th, The Golden Age of Knowhere expresses the angst of youth and gives off the same vibrant energy you experience attending their live performances. The defiance, competitive nature, and taunting in "New York City moves to the Sound of LA" says it all. Every track on this album has a strength to it that when tied together play as a cohesively tight album. The stand out tracks are "Finale", "NYC Moves 2 the sound of LA", and "Youth & Poverty", but even that breakdown isn't fair given the great effort from this band on the verge. Funeral Party opens for Panic! at the Disco at The Wiltern, June 21st.
