up and comers- cosmonauts



Cosmonauts - S/T lp - Permanent Records' 24th label release! -  Cosmonauts are Orange County's premier garage psych group and they're barely old enough to drink legally. These kids have only been making music together for a short while, but they've already shared stages with and are garnering comparisons to well-known garage and psych acts like Black Angels, Ty Segall, and Thee Oh Sees. Although Cosmonauts share some similar influences with these groups, their sound is much grittier, more repetitive, and more Spacemen 3 influenced. Cassette tape tastemakers, Burger Records, released the Cosmonauts debut on tape back in 2010 and now it's available on wax for the first time courtesy of Permanent Records. Fans of the aforementioned bands will absolutely be calling themselves Cosmonauts fans before the year is out.


the burger records tape is sold out and i have a feeling the permanent records lp will be gone soon too.....don't miss out........

check out this live set @ burger records below......





and here are a couple more videos, just in case yr not convinced......






and ps......if you live near LA, check them out at the permanent records LA store opening on june 4th....(yep you west coast kids get to have yr own permanent records store... it's just too cool to be in just one spot.......)

but i'm crossing my fingers that these kids will tour across the us, so everyone else gets to see them soon......
