San Diego-bred Creature Canyon make musical adrenaline — punchy indie-blues with melodic salve for the bruises of rocky relationships. Having become favorites on the San Diego scene, the trio of Austin Steele, Ryan Amyot and Kyle Victoria spent the past year or so spreading their riff-spiked optimism to Los Angeles audiences.

Their new EP, “Did You Want That,” arrives Oct. 19. The trio made it at Hollywood’s United Recording Studios with Christian Lum (of Private island) producing, and the new single is “Take What You Want.” With its rhythmic shifts and made-for-sing-alongs chorus, it’s about giving in but not giving up. Moving on might be bittersweet, but “Take What You Want” leaves a pleasant enough aftertaste.
