They've had an auspicious start, recording their debut EP, "Sounds Like Sex," at the legendary Village Studios, and placing their self-produced single, "Cash Crop," on Fox's "Raising Hope." Their first full-length album, "Reverb and Gin," with Local Natives' producer Raymond Richards, comes out May 7th. A sweet indie band from LA's east side FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OUT MAY 7TH!
