Teens in Trouble is a brand-new indie pop/rock band fronted by San Francisco-based singer/songwriter Lizzie Cuevas. Their debut single, Santa Monica will release this fall on Bandcamp and is armed with lovelorn lyrics, dreamy vocal effects and some serious ‘60s girl group harmonies. With pop punk band Sputterdoll and 8-bit rock duo The Glowing Stars already to her name, Lizzie is no stranger to the San Francisco Bay Area music scene

Santa Monica will be available for free on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, and Apple Music on November 25, 2015. Fans will be able to pre-order the Teens in Trouble 7" vinyl on Bandcamp which includes "Santa Monica" and bonus track "Simple." Vinyl orders are expected to ship January 2016.

¨I was born and raised in the San Francisco and have lived in the Bay Area for my whole life except the time I lived in Santa Monica for a year in 2013. It’s a city that holds a special place in my heart and time felt like it slowed down while I was there, in a good way.¨ – Lizzie Cuevas

The San Francisco based post rock duo, Niveles which features Andrew O’Neil, bassist of Mondo Drag on guitar will be performing at the Elbo Room in San Francisco on Tuesday, November 24th. The San Francisco based neo psych shoegaze band, The Spiral Electric will also be sharing the bill as both local bands will be opening for the the very special international guest performers from Sweden, The Orange Revival.

You´re in for a great show. If you are a neo psych music fan, do your best to make it out to see The Orange Revival. They are a great ensemble and a part of the international music collective that brings shoegaze and psych bands together from across the world. Don´t miss this show!

The cool thing about the Bay Area´s local bands, particularly the artists who are surviving in San Francisco right now, is that they tend to be very committed to their home base. A great example of local artists paying homage to the changing times in their city (for better or for worse) is Royal Jelly Jive. This great vintage swing-soul band has written a song and shot a video to commemorate the destruction of a part of the Old Bay Bridge.

The video was shot at the Embarcadero in honor of this special occasion with a song they wrote inspired by the bridge itself… aptly named, "The Old Bay Bridge". Check out the video and support local artists who are keeping their head above water in the San Francisco Bay Area (literally and figuratively)!

We do our best to stay on the cutting edge and keep our ears to the ground for new Bay Area music groups and artists. A pat on the back feels well deserved as we are pleased to share new music from a great new psych R&B band called almondsandpearls. Their music is eclectic and unique, the members are experienced and funloving and exactly what an ever changing city like San Francisco needs as it evolves into a new era of art and music.

almondsandpearls is a band that has evolved over the years from multiple musicians living, hanging out, and rocking together in one of San Francisco’s last standing artist warehouse spaces. The line up includes visual artist and vocalist, Breck Omar Brunson (Former frontman of The Apes, Screens), guitarist, Kyle DeMartini (Down Dirty Shake, Fast Eddy), and multi-instrumentalist and sound designer Sia Mozaffari (Should We Run). Our sound is psychedelic R&B with a tinge of jazz, reflecting the diverse background from which each member comes from.

Take a listen to their new singles, Soul Free and Peppermint and please support their current indiegogo campaign! Support local independent music!

The awesome San Francisco based neo psych rock band, Golden Void will be performing this weekend at Bottom on the Hill in San Francisco on Friday the 13th. This is going to be a great show! The San Francisco based heavy rock band, Hot Lunch will also be sharing the bill along with Portland based hard rock band, PUSHY and metal rock extraordinaire, DJ Rob Metal.

This is going to be a loud, heavy and sweaty event at Bottom of the Hill. We encourage you to head out and support local and touring bands!

It is finally here! Tricycle Records has released the 5th installment of their local music compilation entitled, Friends of Tricycle Records 5! We really like how TR extended their submission invitation to local artists who are not on their official roster, featuring great artists like Lemme Adams, Brasil, The New Up and Analog Dream.

Enjoy this free compilation. It is a celebration of local music and such a great contribution during a time where record labels are all about profit.

Annie Girl and the Flight have outdone themselves with a vibrant social commentary on cultural complications in the Bay Area and beyond. Making an appreciated attempt to return the power to a young, talented Black woman who seems to get played no matter what playing field of life she chooses to step on, Annie Girl and the Flight´s video for their song, Antidote paints a very vivid picture of how it feels to be Black and female in America. The Deli is always into poingent reflections on diversity and empathy for others who give everything they have and sometimes fall short, ending up with their hands in the air for no reason at all. This is a great video!

¨The video features a political statement about racial profiling by the police and also cameos from many local San Francisco musicians.¨

Annie Girl and The Flight will be supporting Micachu & the Shapes on November 10th at Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco.

The ever talented San Francisco producer and DJ, Al Lover is releasing a new album entitled, Zodiak Versions. He´s one of the best and brightest young mixologists and we´re always pleased to learn when his new music surfaces!

Zodiak Versions – a twelve track LP. The brain behind it, Al Lover, has said it best with his own words: It´s all about the groove! Hiphop, bass, kraut, rave culture, psych, dub, tribal music – it´s all there in Al Lovers universe. But that´s not the main point. Neither is the fact the he´s been compared to artists and producers like J-Dilla, Edan, Sun Araw and Gaslamp Killer. Or that some of his remixes includes artists like Goat and White Fence. The interesting part of Zodiak Versions is the entirety of the album. A fluid listening experience. The samples, looping and editing will make you zone out. Beats and ambient bliss for all the dubbed up heads out there!

Zodiak Versions will be released on vinyl/Digital world wide the27th of November through Höga Nord Rekords (Europe) and The Reverberation Appreciation Society (North America) But is available for pre-order today atshop.hoganord.com

It´s always a pleasure to premiere new music and this premiere is no less exciting than any other. The San Francisco based electro-art pop band, Breakdown Valentine has released a new song in celebration of the Halloween season. It´s never to late to indulge in some spooky new tunes…well, maybe there´s a cut off line, but today is not that day!

Enjoy Breakdown Valentine´s brand new track, Haunted Punx!

After some time of keeping away from the limelight, we’re revving up for a fun release set for Halloween… We’ll be releasing an indie electro-art-pop song that’s a bit different from our usual pop-structured material. We’re still finalizing mixes for an upcoming second EP, but for now the track HAUNTED PUNX is the new release set for Halloween. – Olivia of Breakdown Valentine

We´re excited to announce a great upcoming Bay Area based double album release show! The San Francisco based electro indie pop band, Dirty Ghosts will be celebrating the release of their new album, Let It Pretend (you can stream the album here) which was released on October 2nd through Last Gang Records.

“Any time a punk band starts experimenting, that’s the era of the band that I love,” remarks Dirty Ghosts guitarist and songwriter Allyson Baker while discussing the genesis of Let It Pretend, the band’s forthcoming sophomore effort.

The San Francisco based pop artist, Kelley Stoltz plans to release a whopping three albums: In Triangle Time (out on Castle Face Records on Nov. 6th), 4 Cuts and The Scuzzy Inputs Of Willie Weird (out on Stroll On Records on October 30th). You can listen to a track from each album here.

"All were being written at the same time, basically. And they came out at the same time to coincide with my being booked at the Purple Weekend Festival in Spain this December. Since there was a tour planned, it made sense to get them all done in time for that. I started the Willie Weird album first as a way of escaping myself, after lots of songwriting and touring in 2013 and 2014. It was a strict set of rules type album – randomly selecting the beats-per-minute, writing a bassline first, embracing sound plug-ins, and using one white Stratocaster. I tried to write that from a joyful, humorous place rather than one of lonesome troubador as I usually do. I’d suggest playing all three of them at once." – Kelley Stoltz on his three new releases.

Don´t miss this once in a life time Bay Area event! Head down to Brick and Mortar Music Hall on November 7th!

If you haven´t already heard, we regret to report that the San Francisco Bay Area based band, Whirr shared disrespectful hate speech towards the trans-feminist punk band, G.L.O.S.S. Read the full story here.

Because of the band´s insensitive transphobic twitter comments about G.L.O.S.S, their record label, Run For Cover Records dropped Whirr from the label and issued a statement expressing their plans to donate $3,000 to an LGTBQ organization. Upon G.L.O.S.S´ request, the label donated their funds to Interfaith Works Emergency Overnight Shelter, Sylvia Rivera Law Project and Black and Pink. Read Run For Cover Record´s full statement and learn more information about these organizations here.
