LA Font landed on my radar far too late. However, once their music found its way to my pool of local music I enjoy putting on repeat, the band made room for themselves in a seat next to other local favorites such as The Henry Clay People and Death To Anders. Their tune “Fine Lines” from their album The American Leagues also made my Top 20 Local LA Songs of 2010.
I’ve described this band as a “no-frill” band on my latest mixtape because there’s just no better way to put it. Vocals from Danny Bobbe amusingly sneer with the ironic lyrics and the country-punk undertones serve as a wake-up call to all hipsters in Echo Park. LA Font is a band who calls it as they see it through some pop sensibility and garage rock drenched in Slanted and Enchanted influences. Who’s going to reject the truth when it sounds this good?
Take a listen to their beautiful laments in “Lone Wolf Boys” and unabashed declarations in “Fine Lines” below!
