Above: Australian duo Empire of the Sun in June released its second album “Ice on the Dune,” including “Alive,” and the band performs Sunday as part of the two-day HARD Summer festival at L.A. State Historic Park.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: There figures to be plenty of hard rock over the course of three days at the Sunset Strip Music Festival, but not much with the sharp teeth of the Icarus Line. The long-running L.A. rockers celebrate the release of their new album “Slave Vows” with a headlining show Friday night at the Roxy.

@Seraphina_L recommends: End your work week with a stellar night of local music at the Satellite. Young Light, the new band comprised of Amusement Parks on Fire’s Michael Ferrick and Giant Drag’s Micah Calabrese, celebrates the release of their debut EP, “Giant White Arc.” Other local favorites included in the lineup include Great Northern, Light FM and TS & the Past Haunts.
