Angst-filled Los Angeles-based indie rockers
War Tapes craft volatile and brooding post-punk anthems in the vein of
Joy Division,
Echo & the Bunnymen,
Interpol, and
the Cure. The band, which consists of charismatic and theatrical frontman Neil Popkin, bassist Becca Popkin, guitarist Matt Bennett, and drummer William Mohler, has shared the stage with
Smashing Pumpkins and
the Bravery, and has put out a self-produced independent EP. ~ James Christopher Monger
