Watch.
Say what you will about Foo Fighter's Sonic Highways but the band IMHO gets better with each album. Their HBO special is a good primer for each city profiled- by no means is it a complete picture- but it's a nice starter for a world that is growing increasingly away from it's musical roots. In terms of musical roots, cities like Detroit are yielding gems such as Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas and Orange County's jazzy singer Nancy Sanchez. Aside from emerging artists, there are legends and legacies like Flaco Jimenez & Max Baca (who should've been nominated for a Grammy), John Garcia (Kyuss and Unida) one of my all-time fav vocalists with his best riffs since Kyuss, and the blazing rock duo that is Royal Blood wth their electric guitar like sounding bass.

(Tie): The Bloodhounds: Let Loose! | The Delirians: Get up!
Laaavvv It.
The cuties of Cutty Flam (San Fernando Valley) kept my robot heart beating this year with their quirky videos on Youtube, Ritchie Valens goes prom-punk gigs and of course their Robot Heart cassette release on Burger Records! And speaking of hearts of steel, the soundtrack to my millenial quarter life crisis is Lykke Li's I Never Learn. Then there's The Bloodhounds, East L.A.'s answer to the Yardbirds. They originally won me over with a Thee Midniters cover set and they've done it again, this time, with their own album Let Loose! on Alive Natural Sound. And in a genre all their own are Thee Commons, whose perfect blend of psychedelic cumbia punk can be heard throughout East Los and beyond...
