Echo Park Indie Rock quartet, LA Font, have released the first single off their sophomore LP, ‘Diving Man’, due out later this year. “Onshore” showcases the best the band has to offer. Frontman Danny Bobbe’s playful, yet poetic lyrics are captivating and catchy. His unique vocal delivery comes off as if he doesn’t care if anyone’s listening, but he knows that we are. He’s that rare breed of clever, charismatic and cool – he knows how to write a hook, and he’ll actually entertain you while he performs it. When you add Jon Perry’s immensely addicting guitar wails, Greg Katz’s pristine, driving bass line, and Harlow Rodriguez’s tasteful percussion elements, it’s obvious this is one radio-friendly rock tune that even mainstream haters will want to turn up with their windows down. Besides, when was the last time you heard references to Kevin Costner and Leo Dicaprio in the same song? – Jacqueline Caruso
