Do you Miss Live Music? Check Out Speed of Light Performing, “Kill the Vibe”
Inspired by everything from 70s Punk to Desert Rock, Speed of Light, siblings aged 13 to 17 from Santa Monica, California, have rocked the SoCal area and beyond with their original sound, carving their own path with no apologies. With elder brother Cameron’s 70s-style guitar riffs, middle brother Tyler’s thundering drums, and youngest sister Riley’s banshee howl, it’s no surprise why they’re becoming local fixtures in the L.A. music scene. With three years of live shows under their belt, they’re finally dropping a crowd favorite, the official single and video for “Kill the Vibe.” The song was recorded and filmed LIVE in a recording studio with a riotous live audience just before COVID put a long pause to live shows. Engrossed in the vivacious energy of playing hard-hitting garage rock with one foot in punk, it’s clear why Speed of Light is one of the reasons why you attend a show in Los Angeles.
Vera Blue Wants to Know Would You, “Lie to Me”
The metamorphosis of gifted folk singer/songwriter Celia Pavey into the electro pop powerhouse Vera Blue has been as visually electrifying as it has musically scintillating.
It began with the release of the critically lauded EP Fingertips and its achingly ethereal breakthrough platinum single “Hold.” Musically, the track fuses Pavey’s raw lyrical insights and captivating vocals with elegant, hypnotic electronica; while the accompanying black and white video plays with close up perspectives and a hauntingly interior tone.
The rapturously received debut album Perennial came next; along with that dance-inducing, double platinum single “Regular Touch” – and its far more cinematic visual direction. This time, a Goddess-like Vera Blue is captured in sweeping colour against majestic snow peaks and rolling, faded green mountain ranges; her soaring vocals as wild and resplendent as her flaming hair.
