Winners of this month’s Undiscovered Band Of The Month are LA’s own Castaneda. Thanks to the overwhelming success of our weekly Discovering The Undiscovered post, we’ve expanded it to give one band per month a push and feature them across the Filter world. Think your band has what it takes to be Filter’s Undiscovered Band Of The Month? Details on how to enter are here.

And here's all the info about this month's big winners:

Castaneda hails from the nestled hills of Los Feliz, California. The band consists of Vega on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Rob Derba on keys, Sasha Veneziano on drums, Dana Powers on bass and background vocals, and Warren Nelson on lead guitar. Together for less than a year, the five Los Angeles-based musicians were joined together from across the US (Boston/New York/San Francisco) by inimitable forces and a nexus of relationships. For the five guys, the common goal became simple: to create a new transmittable and distinguished sound that integrates the driving rhythms and haunting electronic rock-and-roll essence of the past with the future.

Combining classic influences such as U2, The Cure, and The Talking Heads with an undertone of modern electronic music, Castaneda has created an approach that is infectious and tastefully large in scope. Their musical brainstorm was to create unforgettable melodies that can radiate through airwaves but also feel completely at home in large venues and clubs alike. The formula is as follows: the raw sound and attitude of two guitars, coupled with the driving rhythms of the drums and bass, the vibrant electric clatter, swish, and hum of the synths, and the ethereal vocals coalesce to create a distinct musical experience. A week after finishing their first EP, their single "RADIO” was discovered by INDIE 103.1fm DJ Chuck P and is now on rotation during his show ‘Dead Air Radio’ in Los Angeles.

Another significant aspect to the band is their live show. Songs like “Pixels” and “Contact” illustrate the band’s definitive, multi-layered musical style and their persuasive live persona. The band’s live act shows that they really have no qualms about expressing themselves. From foot-stomping and clapping, to their physical enthusiasm, Castaneda is not shy about how their music makes them feel. “It’s important for us to know that what we have to say gets heard. I think we always try to give it some sparkle,” states Warren. And their strong live act has been blossoming; Castaneda has been asked to perform repeatedly for stalwart London rock zine NME’s sponsored night in Los Angeles – bringing their sound and reach to a wider transatlantic level.

Viva Castaneda!
