Premiere: Sun Drug, ‘Soaked’

“Soaked,” the new single from Sun Drug, is a fever dream-meets-anxiety attack constructed from menacing synth and lacerating guitars, with singer Steven Wilkin jabbing lyrically about permanence, “wasted ways” and personal renewal.

For those of you that followed the brief career of the LA indie rockers VANAPRASTA and wondered where they went -- LOOK NO FURTHER.

A few members have reformed as the new band SUN DRUG, and their music is quite promising. Frontman Steven Wilkin’s raspy and haunting voice coupled with driving guitar riffs brings to mind artist such as KINGS OF LEON and THE BLACK CROWS.

I had the pleasure of seeing indie rock band Vanaprasta, from Silverlake, on Friday night.  They had a more electronic vibe live and I highly recommend checking them out.  This is their song "NYF" (Numb Your Feelings).
