Penrose Records is a new imprint by Daptone showcasing the most exciting acts emerging on the SoCal souldies scene today.

Latest Penrose release see's the Los Yesterdays hit us with a one-two punch of mid-tempo excellence. This one's a must for fans of Eddie Holman and Billy Stewart alike. The delicate, sparse piano intro of "Nobody's Clown” - courtesy of Tommy 'TNT' Brenneck' - gives way to a drop so deep we've named it the "Lie Detector Drop".

Los Yesterdays originated in an Altadena garage when Gabriel Rowland teamed up with his old friend Victor Benavides. Rowland, a long time drummer and eccentric creator of multitudinous soulful things, took charge of recording as well as playing all the instruments, while Benavides wrote and cut vocals. The project pretty much stayed in their garage for a few years until a mutual connection brought them to the attention of Tom Brenneck and Gabe Roth, who both dug the songs and offered to join in on guitar and bass respectively so that the duo might be able to perform their music live.

Founded by Daptone Records' own Bosco Mann after building a new recording studio in his hometown of Riverside, California, Penrose will showcase the most exciting acts emerging on the blossoming SoCal souldies scene today. For its inaugural release, the label offers up five singles by five exciting new artists: Thee Sacred Souls from San Diego; Jason Joshua from Miami; East L.A. mainstays Thee Sinseers, and The Altons; and Altadena veterans, Los Yesterdays.
