The punk band Death Lens from Los Angeles was formed in 2012, originally as an instrumental project. However, that only lasted until frontman Bryan Torres started singing and everything took a slightly different direction. Death Lens combines West Coast surf punk with British indie rock and shoegaze. Thematically, the band’s lyrics reflect racial and social issues, personal challenges, addictions, and social anxiety. Live, their music is hard and energetic—they’re nice guys in real life, but on stage they rock like a bulldozer!
