La Rocca/ The Truth Keep an eye on Dangerbird Records. After releasing one of 2006’s best album, Silversun Pickups’ Carnavas, the small Hollywood label delivers yet again. Ireland’s La Rocca bring the pop shit on their 2006 full-length debut, The Truth. Sharing some characteristics with their countrymen The Thrills, La Rocca touches on everything from straight up pop (“This Life” and the Coldplay-esque “Goodnight”) to Exile On Main Street-ish country-blues (“The Truth” and album closer “Capitol Pill”). Top it off with the album’s best track, “Non-Believer,” and you’ve got a band that’s worth keeping tabs on. [THE ‘SPACE] La Rocca [HOME] La Rocca
