“Oh No” More Queen Caveat

I would never complain about more music from my newest fave LA band, Queen Caveat. They recently did an acoustic version of their tune “Oh No” for Beta Records. I love this band!

If you don’t have their EP, Emptor, you should check it out!

Also, come see them play live October 28th at The Roxy as part of Nico Vega’s Halloween Witch Hunt. Also featuring Saint Motel and Imagine Dragons.
