Trevor Powers and Logan Hyde of Youth Lagoon played the Hype Machine’s Hype Hotel a few days ago.

With Youth Lagoon like creative brilliance and a sound along the lines of Nerves Junior and Blood Diamonds, eighteen year old Luca Cage looks to have masses of hype about to head his way in the coming months.
