I stumbled across a new album from an old band love, Atomic Tom last week. The Way It Never Was has dominated my listening space along with new music from The K’s, Tom Grennan, and the ever-present Yungblud. The Brooklyn-based band doesn’t seem to have any west coast shows booked, but I hope that changes soon. 

We do have at least one New Yorker, Coyle Girelli, on the list for next week. I’m also looking forward to Thursday night with a free Bad Suns mini-set followed by a rock show from current LA faves, Bruvvy.
