Bad Weather California, The Blank Tapes @ Holocene

We bring you weirdo punk for the new millennium from these west coast rockers.

Bad Weather California — the minute-men of the 2010s — are taking misfit culture back to the streets. A working class band that is in it for life and not just for this week's blogosphere, they're post-internet. Cyber-punk was a futurist's fictional fantasy and here BWC are, living in that digital future, a punk band that doesn't sound like one. This is American music. Drawing on (perhaps channeling?) The Velvet Underground and post Beatles era John Lennon and Plastic Yoko Ono Band, Bad Weather California is both timeless and classic while somehow being, simultaneously, forward thinking and modern.
