Coming out of the noise-rock Mecca that is Los Angeles, HEALTH is a fine example of why people should give noise a chance. Their 2007 release “HEALTH” on Lovepump United is currently being played on repeat about every 30 minutes on my iPod.

The husbands of Desperate described them last night as “so young” and… Continue reading Tokyo Police Club on Desperate Housewives
