Before they got in touch with us here at The HotBox, we'd never heard of The Rubbish Zoo, so we really weren't sure what to expect from their self titled EP. After a good few listens we're happy to report that these LA indie wonders offer the weirdest and most wonderful indie/pop that we've heard in a long time.
Laid back guitar lead melodies, synth moments - they're all there and in good form, just as you'd expect from any indie pop band. However, on a second listen you'll start to pick up some some less 'out of the box' features. Whether it's the funky vibes and cheeky lyrics of 'Look Alive', or the off kilter rhythms and toned out melodies of desperation in 'Bring Me Back'.......While they may be a little too 'pop' for some indie purists, there's definitely a lot more than meets the eye (or should it be ear?) here, making them a band well worth checking out
Try the EP in the player below then head on over to Bandcamp to pick up the EP for a modest $4.
