Artist Spotlight: The Mowgli's

Wrapping up the week with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight. If looking outside at all that snow has you craving for the summertime, we have a band from a much warmer climate, Los Angeles, CA to be exact as we stumble across the eclectic sounds of The Mowgli's. The band consists of Michael Vincze on guitar and vocals, Colin Louis Dieden on vocals, guitar, and percussion, Katie Jayne Earl on vocals and percussion, Matthew Di Panni on bass and vocals, Josh Hogan on guitar and vocals, Dave Appelbaum on keys and vocals, Spencer Trent on percussion, guitar, and vocals, and Andy Warren on drums, percussion, and vocals. The band has a high energy, vivacious indie rock sound similar to the likes of Grouplove with a strong emphasis on vocal harmony and reflective songwriting that makes this band one to keep an eye on in the coming year. When I first heard the song "San Francisco" (a place that I plan on visiting as I've never been to California before), I was immediately blown away by the band's unbridled enthusiasm when playing their instruments, and noticed the strong bond between the band members that shows that they truly enjoying playing music around one another and each member makes the other person better in what they do as a living. A wonderful band that is well worth listening to in your spare time.
