Exclusive: L.A. Punks Go Desert Dream in New Single “Stay”
L.A. punks Cooper Gillespie and Greg Gordon traded city grit for desert space. Now operating as Landroid from Landers, California, their new single “Stay” reflects that shift. The track blends dream pop with sun-scorched psych rock, marking a sonic departure from their punk roots and signaling a compelling new chapter for the duo.
