About the Show

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.

Adult Books is a three piece band from Orange County with a name inspired by the X song of the same name. Their newest single is "Suburban Girlfriend," tinged with Flamin' Groovies power pop and a little bit of Joey Ramone. Watch the video:
