They are called Sheriff Mouloud and the Mad Fox And his story sounds like the first line of a classic joke: A French/Moroccan guitarist and DJ crosses paths with a drummer from La Plata, Argentina in the cities of Poitiers and Bordeaux and Together they decide to create a mix of punk, garage rock, blues, and some gypsy element lost among the notes, then cross the border and arrive in Bilbao to record on an old analog Otari MX-70 machine, and from there, wrapped in strange clothes, try to conquer the world. It could be the plot of a lost episode of Pinky and the Brain, But no, what we're about to describe happened and continues to happen. You can check it out on your sound system right now.
Mehdi Cheriff (aka “Sheriff Mouloud”) and Marcelo Pilegi (aka Zorro Loco), after 3 years of rehearsals and several performances in the south of France, have decided to take on the world with 12 recorded songs in Martín Guevara's studio, vocals and guitar of Cápsula. The result is, first and foremost, very fun. It's a rollercoaster where you easily go from music to make you want to dance in the fiercest mosh pits to a tender and distorted blues ballad, only to then raise the temperature again and recall the teenage rage of all time., the one that has always brought us the true blush of rock and roll. The sound is raw, unsweetened, harsh, natural. The songs shamelessly combine English, French, and Spanish, and sometimes the lyrics are lost in the listening experience, but that doesn't matter: The chaos constantly leaps upon us and The only thing we can do to survive is join the party, with no other option.
A great surprise comes to us from beyond the seas. It's about time it reached our ears for us to enjoy.
