“The noise that could be louder.” With beats that pummel or seduce, synths that soar and guitars that twang, clang and echo like Duane Eddy spiraling down a K-hole, Los Angeles’ Warm Drag exude power, allure and sex. Flanked by local badasses Lenguas Largas and Feverfew at Wooden Tooth Records. Details here.
