Unlikely Heroes - Oakland, CA PSYCHEDELIC HIP-HOP/PUNK ROCK LISTEN HERE NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BUZjYVSlQw Unlikely Heroes is a psychedelic Hip-Hop/Punk band from Oakland, CA. This band has been making waves in and outside of their local scene with exciting/introspective jams that leave concert goers physically drained and mentally well-fed.  This band has been compared to a unique blend of rapper Kid Cudi and band Rage Against the Machine for their witty/catchy conscious lyrics and unique blend of psy-punk beats that flow seamlessly even in their genre stretching style. The Afrofunk Experience - San Francisco HOMEGROWN AFROBEAT, AFROROCK, REGGAE, AND ORIGINAL BAY AREA FUNK. LISTEN HERE NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isOGHBdimSs The Afrofunk Experience is an ambrosial mix of musical interpretations influenced by the African diaspora, created in a collective and organic manner. With Sila Mutungi they comprised the award-winning group Sila and the Afrofunk Experience until 2010, providing songs and grooves that earned them the title "The Bay Area's Dance Kings", as well as the NAACP Image Award's Outstanding World Music Album for "Black President" and the SF Weekly Music Award's Best International Act. The Trims - San Jose, CA ROCK REMINISCENT OF THE STROKES, THE KILLERS, AND BRIT POP OF THE 90’S. LISTEN HERE NOW: https://youtu.be/KE_RyVbB7GE In the Bay Area, there is a lot of great new music coming out each week. Bands break up, new ones begin and the buzz ensues. That brings us to The Trims, a local San Jose outfit that has the loyal fan base and buzz to take them beyond their locality and into a national spotlight. The Trims have a strong sound reminiscent of early U2, The Strokes, The Killers, and the Brit pop of the 90's, while also conjuring the swagger of artists like Joy Division and The Doors. Blend that style with romantic heartache and over-sexed lyrics about all things scandalous, and you have the identity that defines The Trims.
