((Hazel English)) Band Profile and Upcoming Los Angeles Concerts - Oh My Rockness
Hazel English
Written by Patrick McNamara
Hazel English is a rising artist from Oakland (via Sydney) who writes / sings / plays pretty much perfect indie pop.
If you like easy breezy jams comprised of solid jingle jangle with plenty of pretty melodies and a super smooth vibe you should love this immediately.
Also, if you like other band comparisons to help you make sense of things I'm happy to try and help with that too!
Think Day Wave meets Funeral Advantage meets Wild Nothing meets (your favorite band -- those are just three of mine).
Here's a great Hazel English song from her recently released EP of the same name. You should buy it at once. It's fantastic.
Let's not leave it there, though.
As an added digital bonus, here's an absolutely wonderful video for another song from that EP ("Make It Better") that splices up scenes from old musicals. It's delightful and if you aren't instantly taken with it I'm afraid you're gonna have to find a new DIY blob to get your rock solid music recommendations from.
Please note: musicals rule.*
