Superhumanoids: BeatCrave Fav

The only significance behind the name Superhumanoids that we could think of is that perhaps the Los Angeles-based foursome considers themselves a hybrid of super-special with one-in-the-same human-like qualities. Maybe they picked the name so we’d read far too much into it; either way, it’s a nice touch to a local band that seems very humble when it comes to their musical strengths.

We don’t know what it is exactly that draws us to them – it could be their balanced marriage of electronic and rock & roll (with one never outweighing the other), their propensity go by anything but their last names, or the way they command even intimate live performances. Whatever it is, we like and we want more. If you feel the same way, check out Superhumanoids in our BeatCrave Fav series below – and  don’t forget to vote for them in Friday’s BeatCrave Fav of the Week poll!
