Panic Shack- grin & bear it
Every month I listen to the majority of bands and musicians who are playing in Los Angeles and select some for a monthly playlist. It includes a variety of genres and usually newer work by the artists.
This month includes new music by Bedouine, Sekou, Death Cab for Cutie, ZEP, TOKiMONSTA, Lauren Lakis and more.
The song above by Cardiff UK band Panic Shack was released as a single in May.
Below are my selections for June 2026.
