In 2001’s Trouble Every Day, Vincent Gallo’s character is afflicted with the insurmountable urge to physically devour the objects of his lust postcoitus. If you’re going to name your band after a film about sexually motivated cannibalism, it’s only fitting to bear at least a slight sonic resemblance to My Bloody Valentine.

Considering the Gallo film cribbed its title from a Frank Zappa tune, logic would then dictate that your band should also emanate a touch of the swagger, spark and unbridled enthusiasm displayed by the Mothers of Invention.

When Philly natives turned L.A. darlings Trouble Everyday visit their old hometown, nothing’s off limits—except, perhaps, a cover of Def Leppard’s “Love Bites.” (Joshua Valocchi)
