Some bands rehearse rebellion, LED live it. With their debut track ‘Lies All Lies’, the East Hollywood trio crash onto the indie pop-rock scene, tearing straight through it with the volatile charm only teens on a mission can muster. There’s a heat to this song that feels born from garage jams; full of jagged guitar tones, and a vocal delivery that leans all the way into its raw nerve.
Written for a short film but destined to outgrow any screen, ‘Lies All Lies’ marks the beginning of something messy and magnetic. Layne, Lockett, and Edie Yvonne channel the ghosts of ‘90s alt icons and fuse them with Gen Z bite, think a basement show where The Cranberries meet beabadoobee and scribble lyrics in each other’s notebooks. The result is confessional, cathartic, and impossible to ignore.
What makes LED stand out is their commitment to saying exactly what they feel, without sanding down the edges. ‘Lies All Lies’ captures the emotional whiplash of adolescence: anger laced with hurt, rebellion tangled with vulnerability. You can feel as if the band is trying to outrun the silence that follows heartbreak. It’s a rare kind of debut that feels both entirely of the moment and built to last.
This isn’t a polished studio project, it’s a snapshot of youth in motion. Of friends-turned-collaborators figuring it out loud. And with early gigs at LA staples like The Whisky and Hotel Cafe already under their belt, LED are arriving while flashing a warning sign. Keep your eyes on this trio.
