Rough Church from Los Angeles was conceived in 2005. We sing about rare steamy rain, rolling tumbleweeds and lost poems raging against dying lights of empathy. We put out indie pop classic jams that get us compared to everything from Minutemen, Pixies. We are musically spitting in the wind, and somehow we end up getting to the top of our own mountain.
