A. Witch and Bleached.
Comprised of Laila Hashemi, Lexi Funston, Staz Lindes, and David Ruiz, the band's identity is rooted in long-term friendship, which manifests in their tight, intuitive musical interplay and shared vocal duties. Their sound is a sophisticated blend of 1960s garage grit, early punk aggression, and a subtle infusion of new wave synth-pop. Critically, they are noted for their ability to balance 'slacker' aesthetics with sharp social commentary, particularly regarding digital surveillance and modern alienation. Their move to Suicide Squeeze Records for their debut LP, 'Carnage Bargain', signaled their transition from local DIY favorites to a nationally recognized act. The band's influence web includes the raw energy of The Stooges and the playful art-punk of Delta 5, while their visual and lyrical themes often lean into retro-futurism and horror-kitsch. They occupy a unique space in the scene, blending the sun-drenched tropes of California surf with the dark, claustrophobic anxieties of the 21st century.
