Laurel Canyon Tickets

Instead of sunny Los Angeles, Laurel Canyon draws heavy influence from the grimy, fuzzier stylings of Seattle acts like Mudhoney and Screaming Trees, fusing a sneering punk edge with a penchant for guitar noise. Their brand new single, “Daddy’s Honey,” embodies the kind of grunge sludge that those bands perfected in the early 1990s, as the guitars screech at times, the drumming is spacious but furious, and the vocals are equal parts menacing and melodic. The pounding guitars and wailing dual vocals really come together in perfect harmony in the arresting chorus, where the two yell repeatedly “off her broken plates,” in a concise representation of the song’s lyrical themes, which are decidedly anti-establishment and are inspired by the band’s “real-life experiences in a troubled home.” - Thomas Gallo, Look At My Records
