TALK TIME releases EP ‘Year of Self’. The debut single helped the band solidify a base. It was premiered by Nic Harcourt (KCRW, 885fm), receiving spins on (ALT 98.7) and LA’s (KROQ). It also topped the Hype Machine charts and clocked over 300k streams. It all began when the East LA based act captured the attention of music producer Math Bishop (U2, Two Door Cinema Club, The Killers). If you’re fan of Wilco, War On Drugs, and Bon Iver then it’s worth checking them out. You can see them perform at the Bootleg Theatre in Los Angels on 4/16.

New Yorkers Friends At The Falls dropped a new track Graffiti. The band makes a distinction between indie and alternative, and they consider themselves alternative. Musically, they want to capture the essence of pioneers like The Killers, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, and U2. You can hear this in their music and production. Especially in the latest track which is free from loops and over-use of samples that’s been overly exploited. With a stripped down production means a band has to rely on the overall strength of its players. The band will get to reveal their live chops at Bowery Ballroom in NYC on 10/13.
