California's own, Best Coast, have returned with their much anticipated soph-hop offering, 'The Only Place'. The band's new release is the follow-up to 2010's major debut 'Crazy For You'... haven't heard of Best Coast yet? I bet you will.... The band's surf/pop/rock infectous sound will soon become a part of your upcoming Summer playlist. Lead singer Bethany Cosentino's lyrics could be scripted from the diary of any girl's thoughts and emotions. While Bob Bruno's guitar.....while his guitar just fucking rocks. Sorry, I really couldn't think of anything witty or some zingy analogy bullshit.
Check out the title track from the new album to fully understand how awesome California is, the raw 'Last Year', and 'Up All Night' which is actually a remake from their 7-inch with San Diego’s Jeans Wilder from 2010. Need more convincing??? Check out the 'Our Deal" video from 'Crazy For You' below...which was directed by Drew Barrymore and stars a bunch of current child stars....like that iCarly chica:
Shiiiiiiiiiiit, sick of trying to convince you how great this band is... Do the right thing, and get your hands on both of their albums, or any of their past EP's that are available via iTunes as well.
And if you're in the Bay Area, they're playing at the Fox Theater in Oakland on 5/19 with tickets still available...
California Love,
Cubby
