CRUEL REFLECTIONS
ABOUT:
Cruel Reflections is a Indie Rock / Post-Punk band based in the US.
Cruel Reflections began in Los Angeles in 2017. Their freshman album One Year quickly found a niche in post-punk and goth scenes worldwide, receiving positive feedback on indie platforms and through word of mouth. The record was featured on mix tapes in Germany and reviewed as far away as Italy. Locally the band grabbed the attention of radio DJs Frank, Heidi, and Frosty (95.5 KLOS, Los Angeles) who played the songs on their morning show "Stay or Go." Listeners voted for the band to “Stay”. Cruel Reflections was then nominated for “Best LA emerging artist” by Deli LA Magazine.
Without losing momentum, Cruel Reflections released a three-track follow-up EP, Bonus Tracks, and began working on their second album, Through Motions, released through Cold Transmission Music.
In 2025 the band returns with new bass player Anthony Edwards Martinez and original members Julio Garcia Solares (Vocals / Synth), David Solis (Electronic Drums), and Edgar Martinez (Guitar). After their second album „Through Motions“ released in 2021 and a longer hiatus the band quickly reestablished itself with a sold-out headlining show at The Midnight Hour Records in their hometown, the San Fernando Valley. The band has since played shows in Los Angeles, Coachella Valley, and Arizona as they gear up for tour and their third studio album.
