What’s not to like about bands who punch above their weight when playing live? This LA five-piece delivered a solid debut album last year, but it’s their shows that lift them well above any other average pretenders. They’re guaranteed to do their absolute best to knock the roof off of every venue they’re invited to play, as each set of their anthemic, climactic indie pop songs are played to bursting point. It’s so infectious you’re guaranteed to be as caught up in the moment as they are.
