Gothic Tropic - Stronger. Background promo - Los Angeles' Gothic Tropic introduces a new brand of female fronted, guitar-driven indie rock. The band will be playing a single release show today May 30th in Los Angeles at Resident.

Good song! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
