On September 6th 2024 Sonic Sound Entertainment took over the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles for their first ever half day festival. The group brought out some of the best bands they work with (as well as some special guests) spanning the genres of emo, shoegaze, dreampop, and other adjacent genres to put on a night that was one for the books. Check out this photo reel and linked songs below to get a taste of some of the hottest up and coming bands in LA right now.

On July 20th, 2024 it was a Saturday summer day. It was another hot summer night when we hit ninety-degree weather. However, Pound Booking had something in store for us to do this Saturday. They were having a festival at the Echoplex, a music venue in Echo Park Los Angeles, California. Showcasing eleven bands in total and the headliner band was Slow Hollows. They had a two-stage system to make everything run smoothly where the main stage was inside the venue and the side stage was their outside patio. This patio is where I stayed most of my time since I appreciate a more intimate stage where I can be face-to-face with the band as they play their set. I just feel more connected with the band and feed off their energy as they play their set. These are the bands that played on the patio stage.
Dunk Pacino
An L.A.-based punk band fueled by donuts and rage!
Whoremones
Can’t tell from the smiles but this band makes angry music!
Trash Day
This is an indie/punk band from Santa Cruz, CA delivering unadulterated musical garbage in the best way possible!
Love letter
This band carried a lot of emotion in their set. Couldn’t help but scream along with them.
FLOATS
These tract suit-wearing Texas boys love to give a great show! I am always astonished at how they travel so much from Texas to LA just to play one night and then go home the next day! They gave one incredible performance leaving us wanting more.
