News Flash from the West Coast

While I'm still not ready to call the West Coast the Best Coast yet, it has been churning out some impressively eclectic tunes recently. From the ramshackle to the dreamy and guitar-driven, these tunes showcase some pretty exciting young acts from the other coast. The Sandwitches mix male and female vocals with some banjo for a delightfully rundown singalong.

Hailing from LA, Nite Jewel is like an early night in a big city after daylight savings makes it dark too early - energetic, but dark and unknown at the same time.

Chasing Kings are the kind of music I imagine playing at some modern saloon in a dusty hole in the wall somewhere. Pianos and guitars cooperate to make a somewhat straight-forward, but still raucous track.

Small correction: All the vocals in on the Sandwitches tracks are female...

I only know cause I recorded it. ;-)
