If big, bold, and brash are the wicked ingredients that wet your appetite, Los Angeles experimental quartet HEALTH will probably have you drooling on your own shoe once they finish bulldozing you over. Firing on a plenty of percussive bombast and magnificent, radio static guitar drones, the band's recently released 11 song, 30 minute debut is a devilish delight of noise rock anthems that have had the band name-checked everywhere from hometown publications to England's biggest rock rags. To learn that the band neglected the stale studio environment in favor of a dark, dirty, brick club in downtown Los Angeles for the recording certainly comes as no surprise. HEALTH rumble and roll off whatever walls confine them. - David Pitz

Filmed at The FADER Sideshow, this performance from experimental noise quartet HEALTH taught us abrasive and course bouts of recorded rock always translates into electrifying live performances. Yet as carried away by the sheer possibilities of their instruments as these Los Angelinos get, there are still recognizable pieces of "song" swirling around underneath all the empowered racket. See if you can find 'em. – David Pitz
