Hobart W Fink – the quartet of singer-guitarist Jayk Gallagher, singer Lauren Lakis, bassist Noe Santiago and AJ Brown – had a robust 2013. Their hard-driving indie-rock, spiked with ’90s-style riffage, tempo changes and twining boy/girl vocals, was on full display on their “Four Eyes, Five Tails” EP, and they followed it up in November with the single “Final Fantasy 7” as they continued work on a full-length. The video for song makes for one heck of a travelogue; it was filmed at various locations in Peru and in New Orleans, as if the song isn’t escapist enough. Our favorite snippet: The graffiti that reads “Heartbreak makes me horny.”

Are you kidding me? This band is awful and this article is full of typos. Get it together buzz.
Really!!! I saw them in echo park once and they were terrible. Either you guys are getting paid off or you guys just lost all your sense. You are dissappointing me buzzbands! So many better bands in this freaking city! Smh
I’ve seen this band around…lackluster and certainly not ironic…
show me one person who thinks this band is good or post worthy
I don’t want to be as harsh as the other commenters, but can someone explain to me how this is “Indie?” This is pretty standard rock… it’s also not independent, having PR behind it.
That was a waste of a couple minutes. Are you serious? Is this some sort of joke?
