Spotlight On Casts A Spotlight On Afterimage

Spotlight On writes that the output of LA’s Afterimage is “a reminder that there were bands crafting dark, urgent, and experimental sounds that could rival anything coming out of Manchester or New York.” The band’s brief output, including live tracks and demos, has been collected by Independent Project Records and released as Faces To Hide, which is now at radio.

Spotlight On says, “The Los Angeles Times once dubbed Afterimage ‘LA’s Joy Division,’ and listening to tracks like ‘Satellite of Love,’  it does make some sense. The band’s share a certain hypnotic, chilly exterior coupled with a fiery core. But Afterimage was no mere copycat – they brought their own West Coast flavor to the post-punk template.” Read more right here.
