With Parcels originating as a band who self-produced their music on DAW using only a computer, the band has come a long way since their high-school formation. The Berlin-based Aussie dance-pop quintet has made a lasting impression on the indie/electronic world since the self-release of their debut EP, Clockscared.

Basking in Santa Barbara sunlight, we were able to catch up with Backseat Vinyl band members Nate Fuller (rhythm guitar and vocals), Keenan Clarke (drums), and Clara Louise (bass) halfway through their first full-length tour. Over some Coors Light, we talked the creative process, band chemistry, and most importantly, music.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking with Noah Champ--singer, songwriter, and drummer of Field Trip--about the move back to the West coast, his influences, video games, and more. Check out Field Trip's newly-released video for "Stuck" and go see them play tonight, Saturday May 4th, at the Echo with Foliage.
