The Los Angeles Issue

Wavves, Spun
The LA band’s eighth LP eschews distortion in favor of a cleaner pop-punk sound that both spotlights Nathan Williams’ songwriting chops and dulls the project’s compelling eccentricities.

Skegss, Top Heavy
Clashing with expectations, the rowdy Australian duo dive into an older, deeper, more refined sound with this EP that positions them as stronger musicians and storytellers.

Mister Romantic, What’s Not to Love?
John C. Reilly’s latest role as a lonely vaudevillian singer of Great American Songbook standards sees him unwrap each melody and lyric without irony or snarky dispatch.
