Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Offramp's 'Song of the Week' this time around comes by way of South L.A. punk outfit Generacion Suicida with the song, "Sombras." Spanish for "shadows," Sombras is a surprisingly bright number that showcases the band's melodic sound: a dreamy Smiths-reminiscent guitar solo, punchy drums akin to Marky Ramone, and a lead bass that's front and center in the sound mix.
Generacion Suicida will be opening for Trash Talk the Union Nightclub this Saturday, November 19th. Doors at 7pm. Click here for tickets.
