Music from My Mailbox

As I pull open the lid on the Licorice Pizza mailbox, it dawns on me that I’ve got to find some way to make this less burdensome and easier to read. The “mailbox” posts seem a little busy and unorganized, at least to me. So I’m going to try simplifying things, giving you some music, a very brief description of what/who the band is, then giving you a link to their respective site. That way, if you’re interested, you can explore more on your own. And I’m not bogging things down so much.
Moving on.

The Epochs
“On Feb. 19, Brooklyn's The Epochs will release their self-titled debut LP through The Rebel Group. For brothers Ryan and Hays Holladay, the craft of songwriting has always been closely linked with the recording process. Along with drummer Kotchy and bassist Kevin Smith, The Epochs (pronounced ‘ee-poks’) have created a sprawling record that cuts no corners in production quality or arrangement.”

From Leaf to Feather
“Three original L.A natives plus one S.F songbird that migrated south for the winter, all carving a path through this pumpkin called Los Angeles.”

The Lonely H
“Port Angeles, Wash., natives The Lonely H have embarked on a three-month jaunt that will take them across the US, including a stop at this year's SXSW. The band is touring in support of Hair, their latest release available now via The Control Group. The Lonely H's infectious harmonies paired with their classic rock sound come alive on stage.”

Say Hi
“The Wishes And The Glitch is the fifth release from Say Hi principle Eric Elbogen (yes, this is the former Say Hi To Your Mom). It doesn’t take too many spins to hear that something very different is happening on his latest effort. The barrage of indiepop songs that fills Wishes' 36 minutes is musically richer than anything Elbogen has done before.”
