Warpaint, 'Bees' (Interface)

The Los Angeles-based fourpiece is comprised of Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Theresa Wayman (guitar/vocals), Stella Mozgawa (drums/keyboards) and Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass/vocals), whose sister, actress Shannyn Sossamon ('A Knight's Tale,' 'The Rules of Attraction'), used to play drums in the band.

Warpaint's sound manages to be wistful, fragile and powerful all at once. Jangling guitars weave in and out of Kokal's and Wayman's sweet, smoky harmonies while Mozgawa and Lindberg dish out a hefty, defiant rhythm.

"We're true to our moods. That also plays a really big part in the way we write music. We could all four be in different moods, and we bring that to the music and it can make for a very eclectic sound." -- Bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg
