2013 was a banner year for the garage rock outfit The Futures League, seeing them headline KCRW’s School Night, touring Europe, and rounding out the year with a Residency at The Constellation Room. Promises of an album loom into the new year, but in the meantime, they’ve shared three singles on ‘The 10 Inch’ released in October. An old school blues rock quality punches you in the face leading into purely psych rock jam moments on "Give My Loving A Try," the true standout in this trio. These tunes are reminiscent of early Black Keys, with that fat analog warmth, lush with down and dirty guitar riffs, subtle harmonies, and an impossible catchiness. Oh, and don’t miss out on the guitar call and response breakdown in "Too Many Lies," while you’re streaming from their bandcamp.
