San Diego's Lanterns puts out ...
the Apocalypse Youth EP
For rock heads who find that the frenzied melodic noise of Sonic Youth and Les Savy Fav bring on a bit of the dripping (ewwwww), I recommend yet again to check out the younger and more San Diegoan four-piece Lanterns.
Live, they come across like a pack of wild hoodlums --that's a good thing. But what's even better is their apeshit awesome knack for writing an infectious song, layering distorted shoegaze fuzz, pounding beats, shredding licks and singalong shouts over pop hooks.
So in reverence for the release of their Apocalypse Youth EP that will be celebrated at a July 19 hometown show at the Che Cafe, check out new tracks "Creation Myth," "Midnight Psalms (Alright!)" and "EndTimes Blues" on Lanterns' MySpace, or two sweet older tracks below. Yum.
Lanterns – sweet weapons!
