Local Natives are a great refreshing listen to what well crafted straight up rock should sound like. These Southern Californians' debut album has been released in the UK and will be available in the US on February 16th. The song Camera Talk has everything including strings, killer drumbeats, harmonies, and of course some good ol' rock.
