Like the cities’ subway trains, New York
rock band Laveda, a well-oiled machine,
continues to progress forward, with an
intense momentum. Together, Laveda
shapes a symphony of sounds that skew
from scraping metal and breaking glass, to
the gentle kinetic sounds of water running
softly through subterranean pipes and train
engines humming as they move with focus
though the dark underworld. Now with the
support of Bar None Records and their
legendary catalogue of artists behind them,
Laveda continue their prolific journey.
Since Laveda moved from Albany to Queens
in 2023, the band has grown in multitudes
stylistically, building a new, deeper, and
more compelling vision with their third
studio album ‘Love, Darla.’ Wholly, the
record is familiar yet fresh, harnessing the
power and aesthetic of 80's punk and 90's
grunge- filtering them through a fresh and
original contemporary lens and creating
visceral sounds that mirror the harsh noise
and static of the sprawling cityscape. Love,
Darla is a masterful exercise in fusing
memorable ear worms and frantic, eruptive
energy- an active volcano.
Laveda has supported The Dandy Warhols,
Sunflower Bean, The Brian Jonestown
Massacre, The Belair Lip Bombs, dust, and
more.
