To Live and Die in L.A.

This all began a few weeks ago when my brother, a DJ at WNUR, which is Northwestern University's radio station, showed me the station's 'favorite records of 2006' list. I was somewhat surprised to see that I had never heard of any of top ten bands listed. Number one on the list was "To Live and Die in L.A." a indie rock band out of Portland, Oregon. I decided that I should check up on these guys and I am glad I did. The band writes amazing anthemic songs filled with exciting guitars, soaring backup vocals and twitchy ambient sounds that fill the background. This band won't stay unsigned for long, espeically after their visit to austin for SXSW.
