The Altons

How would you characterize the sound of Southeast L.A.? The Altons, natives of the region, combine dust kicked up from backyard parties with evening Art Laboe listening sessions, evoking a sound that veers far from the shadows. Lately they’ve become a staple of the scene, captivating local audiences with their distinctive retro-indie-soul sound. Their debut album, Heartache in Room 14, is out on on Penrose Records.
