Biography

"FEELS FAMILIAR. SOUNDS NEW." Loud, energetic, and known for a wild, emotionally resonant live show, east LA rock quartet Lone Kodiak makes a spicy cocktail using the modern classic ingredients they grew up on. And while the sharp listener may hear traces of The Cure or Hum or The Smashing Pumpkins or Deftones, the band made the most of the pandemic by carving out a sound uniquely and unmistakably their own, dialing in tones and challenging their own routine songwriting habits. Regulars on the east side circuit at venues like Bootleg (RIP), The Echo, and Moroccan Lounge, and sharing stages with local legends like The Marias, Night Talks, and The Dumes, Parker (vocals, guitars), Alden (bass), Josh (drums), and new addition Ben (guitar), are scene veterans on the verge of breakthrough with their forthcoming debut album "Inside Voices," produced by Kyle Mangels and recorded at Big Bad Sound. The record will be their first, launching in July with their lead single "The Corner Booth (feat. Hunter Leigh Allen of Chase Petra)". Three additional female vocalists contributed, including Chloe Fuller and Emily Tooaen of tchotchke.
