L.A. Explosion!

L.A. Explosion! cover art

Deeply influential yet commercially overlooked, this Los Angeles group masterfully cross-pollinated the aggressive energy of the burgeoning punk scene with 1960s garage rock and surf sensibilities. The songs are packed with driving Farfisa organs, jangling Rickenbacker guitars, and undeniably infectious, melancholic pop hooks. It is widely considered a foundational masterpiece that paved the way for the 1980s Paisley Underground movement.
