The Fuckin Surfer Smokers – The Fucking Demo
Playing surf rock or rockabilly might seem easy, but the truth is, any band that tries it will fall flat if they don't capture the excitement, the thrill, and the sheer joy that each song should hold to get their fans jumping and dancing. In this case, this Bogotá-based group achieves it brilliantly. Each of the three tracks presented in this EP is satisfying and enjoyable from beginning to end. Regardless of the fact that the ocean waves that surely inspire their compositions are thousands of miles away, and that they won't be able to comfortably wear short, festive outfits during their nightly performances in the chilly Colombian capital, what's presented in this recording testifies to the great potential of their career. A good start to their journey.
Acids – Rotating week
From the moment a simple reference to their name appears on our computer screen, we expect to experience a lysergic sonic journey with this Argentinian band, or at the very least, to be immersed in soaring guitars with frenetic distortion and an agile rhythm that leads us into a long, pleasurable whirlwind. Well, after only two songs, one five and a half minutes long and the other two hundred and ninety seconds, We can say that we were left wanting to hear more from this group, with strong references to the psychedelic sound of the late sixties, where great moments of keyboards and synthesizers, heavily reverberated vocals, and aggressively played strings blend together, helping us, despite the short journey, to have a pleasant trip. We want to hear more from you in the coming days, acid friends.
The Last Cyclist – The last cyclist
Do you remember Uruguay, that country in the south of the continent, where only three million people live, but where, because of the overwhelming numbers, we think that everyone there is an exceptional footballer or a musician with wonderful talent? Yes, the description is exaggerated, but we like it (and we celebrate it immensely on this page) when we find a group from Montevideo and its surroundings that reminds us what music is all about when it brings us joy. This band, using a simple but effective construction of pop songs, presents us with easy-to-listen-to tracks that, nevertheless, gradually envelop us as they play., And they convince us that we live in a better world, where there is the possibility of pleasant intimacy and less complicated tranquility. A beautiful work that I hope many will hear about soon.
