Who's Cuter Now? Captures Raw Energy And Heartfelt Melodies On 'Lie To Me'
A vibrant slice of Orange County emo, recorded entirely live in a single room.
By Markus ·
Hailing from Orange County, California, the four piece outfit Who's Cuter Now? is dedicated to reviving the community focused spirit of indie and emo music. Their latest single, Lie To Me, delivers a melodic, high energy punch that showcases the band's commitment to raw, honest songwriting.
Pure Live Energy
Drawing inspiration from influential acts like Tigers Jaw, Pinegrove, and Rilo Kiley, Who's Cuter Now? opted for an authentic approach to recording. The band tracked the song together inside a live room at a San Diego studio. Because they had practiced the track to perfection, the entire recording process took only an hour, capturing an immediate, unfiltered energy that beautifully complements their standout chorus melodies.
DIY and Community First
Beyond their studio work, the band actively works to support their local music scene. By booking their own independent festivals, they continuously fight against the restrictive pay to play booking systems that strain independent creators. Their upcoming DIY showcase, Sincerely, Emo, will bring ten local bands together on August 1 at Stages Bar in Santa Ana, complete with local food and dessert trucks, celebrating the true spirit of the community.
