La Brea may mean:


La Brea is also the expiramental indie band, hailing from Council Bluffs, Iowa; admist the stomping ground of the groundbreaking indie label Saddlecreek Records. However, La Brea is signed to another Omaha area indie label, the less known Hosier Productions. La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles Countys Miracle Mile District. ... La Brea is a town in southwestern Trinidad. ...


La Brea consists of two main members, they being Bobby Hermsen and Jake Hunt. The multitalented duo have also collaborated with the likes of other local bands such as ACS and the earlier stages of Iconoclast. Sam Kelley also weaves in and out of the band, mainly focusing on guitar.


Both Jake and Bobby play the instruments for their songs, often rotating their duties. The main arsenal for their sonic breeding ground include a healthy dose of distorted guitars, astranged keyboards, viscious "slap" bass, heavy drumming, and elements of white noise and down tuned phasing. The occasional acoustic guitar can be heard, as well as a childhood xylophone, the plastic kind you get from a toys r us. Most of the vocals are either screaming or nearly feminine style abrasive vocals.


Though much of their work may be summed up by some as cacaphoenous, dangling and disjointed melodies can be often heard throughout the grain. They have also pioneered the new genre of bobXcore.
