Here’s an exclusive Something Else! premiere of “Garbage,” a video advancing the San Francisco-based Vintage Sun‘s rocking new eponymous EP. Guitar-focused, yet melodic, “Garbage” heralds a five-song release that harkens back as much to Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin as it does to the Gin Blossoms and the Beach Boys.

Led by vocalist and guitarist Nick Tara, the Marin County rockers also include guitarist and second singer Downey Orrick, drummer Elliott Starno and bassist David Alvarez. (Orrick takes over lead vocals on “So Sweet” from the new EP.) Though all in their early- to mid-20s, the Vintage Suns sound — which grew out of a partnership between Downey and Elliott in a previous band — is marked by a throwback reliance on flesh-and-blood sounds.

“We believe in musical proficiency and using real instruments only,” they say. “No auto-tune, no computers. Just the raw ingredients of rock and roll.”

The clip for “Garbage” was filmed in the Santa Barbara area, and directed by Eryn Brydon. The Vintage Suns EP is due on November 18, 2014. An EP release performance is set for December 4, 2014, at the HopMonk Tavern in Navato, California.

They recorded at Hyde St. Studios in San Francisco, as well as a private residence in Mill Valley, California. (Clearly, they’ve got much cooler neighbors than we do.) Andrew Capra of Brave Citizens served as producer; Paul Logus, who has previously worked with Anthrax and Public Enemy, mixed Vintage Suns in New York City.

Next, from San Francisco, CA comes the debut EP from the exciting new rock band Vintage Suns. The five song EP brings back that classic hard rock sound of the seventies with a modern, sunshine California vibe. Beginning with the edginess of "No Matter" and the guitar riffs of "Garbage" you get a sense that Vintage Suns are the link between modern hard rock and the sunset strip metal of the late eighties. The band excels with the addictive chorus of "Poison," before closing the album with the mellow, acoustic "unplugged" sounding "Sun Shines."
