A few months ago we fell in love with Giant Killer Bats' music. Under this moniker, we discover a talented young man called McCoy. We invited him on the podcast and we had a blast. During our conversation, he mentioned he got his stage name from a tour with Teenage Wrist, for which he was hired to play guitar. Fernanda and I just discovered Teenage Wrist with their new record "Earth is a black hole" (Epitaph) so we asked McCoy if he could put us in touch with the band. A few weeks after, we were on Zoom with Marshall and Anthony, and we had a great time uncovering the making of their new record. We went beyond the usual interview and talked a lot about the local LA scene and the emerging bands around them: Milly, Talker, Starcrwaler, Rollerbladers, Iron point (Anthony's other band where he sings) and, of course, Giant Killer Bats; they're all proving that rock is living his best life in the city of angels. Marshall thinks it just comes out of fashion sometimes but rock music will always eventually reemerge in the mainstream. Maybe it's that time again, maybe not but what is certain is that Teenage Wrist is leading a new scene of talented musicians. Last but not least, they're about to go on tour with Dead Poet Society, another band we had the pleasure to interview on our podcast. Those bands are the future of rock. Mark our words. Vincent
Fernanda and Vincent have been around the LA alternative music scene for almost a decade yet they never felt it was a real community. They came to the US with the same dream of joining a vibrant community of artists but they soon realized the Laurel Canyon, Sunset Strip, and Fairfax High School days were long gone. Because talent is still brewing and because L.A. deserves another chapter in the music history books, we decided to help by giving a voice to a new generation of rock bands and connect them to the many fans & professionals that are hoping to see a new scene arise. Join the movement!
