| Click to purchase The Aldgate EP by Local Hero |
Local Hero have just recently released their first EP entitled The Aldgate. I am very impressed with this EP as it has that early spark that a band just starting out always has. The Aldgate is full of energy and upbeat catchy vibes worthy of your regular indie iTunes playlist. Every single one of their songs are really amazing.
With hints of surf rock (probably from their California roots), I can't help but be drawn to their music.
"The group is the product of four remarkably average Berkeley youths, Jojo Brandel of Please Quiet Ourselves, Leo Grossman and Max Hirtz-Wolf of Rikoche, and Alex MacKay, the one who doesn't have his own band. "One thing that should be mentioned is the vocals. I think what really encapsulates me is the lead. He has such a very distinct voice and it's rather ... well .. perfect for their style of music. The vocals coincide extremely well with the guitar. They match. That's probably where the chemistry of the band comes in, a chemistry that enables a group to make such great music.
"Alex discovered his long-dormant songwriting mechanism during the summer of 2009. Having always admired the refined musical stylings of PQO, Alex quickly enlisted Mr. Brandel and Señor Grossman to his group. The initial results were promising, and the trio began recording with the indefatigable Aki Ehara in Richmond during December of '09. Five long months passed, with Jojo departing on a lengthy expedition to the Orient and eventually returning in May of the following year. Recording resumed, and after an interminably long time, they released their first EP, The Aldgate, on September 12th 2011."With crisp guitars riffs and tasteful add-lips, here's The Aldgate EP from Local Hero:
