Take a listen to one of the EP’s by LA-based band Warm Weather and you will quickly catch yourself imagining your life as a musical. Thankfully it is none of that tiresome "Glee" business, but instead it is a musical where dazzlingly harmonies and jubilant indie rock sounds make every day feel like Christmas. Of course all of your days are also filled with sunshine. This bewitching world that the guys of Warm Weather create with their music is fueled by a lot of spunk and roots in collegiate acapella groups. Before moving out to LA, Justin Lerman, Ryan Pollie and Brendan Lynch-Salamon were all studying music at East Coast colleges and participating in acaeplla groups. That experience plays big part in Warm Weather’s sound. Overall the guys create a clean pop sound with wholesome vocals, but the amazing harmonious and seamless mix of folkly banjo sounds on some songs and tropical sounds reminiscent of Vampire Weekend on others is what makes them stand out. The songs can be a bit quirky at times, but are not trivial. Warm Weather is in the midst of an East Coast tour supporting their two EPs, last year’s "Dances" and the follow-up "Looking Through." – Karla Hernández
