I've been meaning to post on L.A.'s Irving for a while now. They're a potentially O.C.-worthy indie rock/pop band generating all sorts of buzz within the indie community. They've toured with Tapes 'n Tapes, Voxtrot, Of Montreal, and others, and have been featured by all sorts of media outlets, including the ever-cool KEXP and the never-cool MTVu.
They've got this weird quality about them that I'm now certain every poppy, good-looking indie rock outfit from L.A. has (see Goldspot)...and that's the fact that they're walking a fine line of potential right now. They could easily hop on a major label and sell out a la The Killers, or go the way of super cool hipsters TnT and CYHSY and just stick it to the Man, live out of their Eurovan, and eat tacos y burritos like the rest of us. Anyway, this is a band you're sure to love...just make sure to get to them before Adam Fucking Brody does.
