Eclectic alt-folk purveyors Bad Weather California draw influences from '60s psychedelia, reggae, and African music traditions to create a soundtrack worthy of any freakout or happening. After releasing their debut album, Young Punks, in 2009, the group called on Akron/Family singer/multi-instrumentalist Seth Olinsky to record their sophomore release, Sunkissed, at High Bias Studios in Detroit. 2011 saw the band touring with Meat Puppets and releasing a single for Fire Talk; as the following year began, they hit the road with Akron/Family and released Sunkissed on Akron/Family's own Family Tree label. ~ Chrysta Cherrie
