TAPED3CK “HEY LA” VIDEO

Homegrown Hell-Ay garage rock trio Taped3ck steamrolls over the straying remnants of the derisive emo trend, straight past SoCal pop punk and hopefully and possibly even more important than either of those, the dance music that’s currently emasculating sales of the genre and the strip that birthed it.

Their debut single “Hey LA” is the band’s introduction to the community and it pays appropriate attention to everything that “rock city’s” best sounds include: offensive licks, gutteral choruses, big, big drums and an unapologetic, warm groove that can only come from recording a rock record the right way. Brian Virtue (30 Seconds to Mars, Audioslave, Chevelle) brought some magic to the mix.
