Buzz Track: Love is King

The Funnel Heads were birthed in a small garage in the cozy beach town of Dana Point CA. Fueled by their love and respect for all music, they began crafting their own original sound derived from the crashing surf and laid back vibe of their surroundings. Meshing a large variety of genres their music embraces all that is California – rock, surf, reggae, Punk, funk, all with a hint of hip hop just begins to break down the music they create. Lewis Richards and Ronnie Kings (Offspring, Sublime) have produced their latest material. Already creating a buzz, the band is kicking off the new year with a monthly residency at the House of Blues in Anaheim.
