We keep it close to home (Mexico) with a Mexico City band that released their first material around 2015. Siempre Contigo by Sol Flamingo. The band has played with multiple sounds throughout the years, their first album Viento Eléctrico (2015) featured loud guitars in their hard rock mix, moving to a more relax acoustic + voice sound w...

We move to what i like to call my fav classics, with a musician from Sonora, Mexico (according to wikipedia), I always thought we has a Tapatio (aka. someone from Guadalajara, Mexico), but it turns out he moved there while he was a kid. Sensei by Caloncho. Being fully transparent, Caloncho was an acquired taste, I used to have a hard t...

So I want to try a new approach, I sometimes stress trying to find out a band that resonates with me and have something to write about them, it honestly has stopped being fun, it feels like a chore. I still have tons of bands I want to share with you, so I'll make a deal with you, I'll finish the list before new years eve for sure, I m...

Took a break yesterday, but today we are back and moving to Guadalara Jalisco in Mexico. Abril by Salvador y el Unicornio. For this artist I have to quote the bio from Spotify, apologies if the translation is kind of yanky. “Salvador Sahagún is the creative mind behind Salvador y el Unicornio, a retro-futuristic artist that navigates b...

New blood from the regiomantana scene (Monterrey, Mexico), I believe the band's first material dates to 2018. Mango by Efelante. This band alongside with other young bands like Drims (entry 6) is what I believe to be the latest revival in the music scene from Monterrey, the so new avanzada regia, we covered some bands of the original a...

It's Friday and since im winding down, today's band from Tijuana Mexico is here to help you chill out. Piscis by Policias y Ladrones. It was through this band that I discovered what 'bedroom pop' is, it's refreshing that bands have the opportunity to share their music not bounded by label. ---- Es Viernes y como ya me estoy relajando, ...

Today's another quickie with a Guadalajara band formed in 2007. Ruleta by Technicolor Fabrics is the perfect song for you to chill while enjoying a sunny day with friends, just like the vid ha ! --- Un rapidín para no dejar de postear nos vamos con una banda Jalisquilla formada en 2007. Ruleta de Technicolor Fabrics es la rola perfecta...

Next band from Mexico City has founded in 2014. Tiempo by Molinette Cinema has this good-feel vibe that I can’t but imagine would be playing if my life had a soundtrack and I were just cruising or driving through a deserted highway, its a must on your next road trip playlist. What make them special to me is how they can make you feel (...

We kick it into high gear with another duo from Mexico (Hermosillo, Sonora) formed in 2017. Se Siente Bien by Sgt. Papers is a song by the Garcia brothers that feels like an energy fueled bitchslap. You gotta crack a smile at the name, especially as some of their songs make reference of how they are not like the Beatles and never will ...

So its been roughly 144 days since the last entry, and as I feared, 1 day of not posting became 2, and then a week, and a month… I was halfway the 90 day stream but shit happens, so now I’m back at it ready to keep finding and sharing kick ass songs in Spanish. We go back into the arena with a band from Mexico, Leon Guanajuato specific...

Keeping it local with another one from Mexico City, i believe the band was formed sometime in 2016, I believe... Me Quitas El Aire by Costera. This song builds momentum over time and they kind of keep teasing you about the the drop for little while and when they do, it kind of explodes and takes you to a new place, its trippy give at a...

We have another band from Mexico City that was formed in 2011. Éramos para Siempre by Los Blenders. This band is mostly known for their surf punk vibe, but their latest materials have some notes of pop rock and sometimes even ska, they've been actively touring so fingers crossed I'll be able to see them live soon, specially after seein...

All right its getting late here so let's continue with another band from Mexico City that was formed in 2013. Chiluca by El Shirota. This track is from their early material, a shot of energy with their post hardcore vibe. Their debut album Tiempos Raros from 2020 keeps the the aggressive rock vibe but in a more refined way. BTW casei s...

Hey peeps, I took a little bit of breather here but we are back on schedule with a band from Tijuana that was formed in 2003. El Nómada by Canseco. I started listening to this band along side with others from that time (that we have featured on this list already) where my segue into Mexican rock and ultimately ultimately my love for me...

We move to Monterrey, with a band that formed in 2012 but released its first EP in 2015. Si No Vas a Ser Tú by Young Tender. Friday with 80´s vibe, the band is mostly known for their sad disco sound, if that statement seems weird, listen to a couple of their songs and you'll get it. --- Nos vamos para Monterrey con una banda que se for...

We are staying in Costa Rica with a banda formed in 2016. Imágenes Violentas by SWAY. Part of this 90 day challenge was in part to share some of my favorite bands and songs that are part of my life, but it was also about experimentation and going with the flow discovering new and exciting bands, and thats what happened with SWAY, I dis...

I believe we move for the first time to Costa Rica, with a band formed in 2015. Fuegos Artificiales a la Distancia by Dylan Thomas. I recently discovered this band and its been stuck in my head for some time now. Its just so refreshing to hear Shoegaze bands singing in Spanish, the bands reminds me of some of my favorite bands like DII...

Moving to Chile with a band formed in 2008. En Mis Genes by Protistas. There is just something about the band and this song in particular, the lyrics to me are a reminder of how we can somethings let go and the guilt we feel for letting things get so bad, we reached a point when we are ok with any extreme positive or negative outcome o...

Another one from México, this project was recently formed in 2020! ¡No Hablas! by Sam y Marx. Listening to the this hommie you cant help but feel some sort of melancholy in its rock pop mix, give it a try and feel it too. ---- Otra desde México, este proyecto es reciente, 2020. ¡No Hablas! de Sam y Marx. Escuchando a este compa es impo...

Another band from Mexico, the concept of the band started around 2014. Tengo Que Saber by El Muchacho de los Ojos Tristes. Its hard to put a genre for the band, the lead singer mentioned that if they had to put a genre they could possible fall under Mexican Psychedelic Folk Rock, pretty sure he was trolling, whatever their genre is, th...

Quickie !!! Another one from Mexico, this one is recent, I believe formed in 2018. Estar Aquí by Películas Geniales. ——— Otro rapidín de México, formada en 2018 creo (?). Estar Aquí de Películas Geniales.

Another one from Mexico formed in 2007. Si by Torreblanca. Their sound might not be for everyone but its definitively worth exploring, piano + synth + wind instruments. So them live once with a colleague of mine, we both liked the music but he was so unimpressed with their stage presence that he decided to message the band on Facebook ...

Now we move to Chile with a rock band formed in 1999. Miéntele by Los Bunkers. My brother and I don't necessarily share the same taste in music, but this particular band and particular song was playing on his playlist on a random night we were having drinks, and I don't know, it was great to just sing a long like 2 good old friends, so...

We move now to Ecatepunk (Ecatepec) with a band formed in 2010. Tu Dueño by Odisseo. I remember discovering the band through a friend and although i found their sound somehow unique & weird, I fell in love with the bands sound, a mix of Brit rock and Synth pop with lyrics that remind us of romantic ballads of the 70´s and 80's your par...

We move to another Mexican band formed in Zacatecas in 2007. Muchacha by Los Románticos de Zacatecas. The band has been influenced by many different genres, from Norteño (Mexican regional music), Boleros to Punk Rock. To me the beauty of this band is their garage/indie rock sound mixed with some lyrics regarding love and other common d...

Hey peeps, personal emergency today, no song today, will be back tomorrow. ——- Raza, hoy no habra rolita, emergencia personal, regresamos mañana.

Now we move back to Mexico, to grammy award winning artist that began writing at the age of 16 and her first album was released in 2002. Hasta la Raíz by Natalia Lafourcade. The album of the same name, Hasta la Raíz, is one of my favorites and holds a special meaning to me. My parents are over 65 now, so they don't necessarily enjoy al...

We continue with another Venezuelan band formed in 2006. Solo by Los Mesoneros. I don't have a fun story regarding this band, just really like this song and it was all thanks to Spotify, before covid I discovered bands in music festivals, but since thats out of the question for now, Spotify is filling that spot, and being a customer fo...

Week has been tough so I'll be quick, another great band from Venezuela formed in 2001. Astrómetra by Charliepapa. The band shares (some songs) a vibe/vocals with another artist we talked about before? Any ideas? They even share a similar name... Got it? For some reason songs like La Cima make me think of Charlie Rodd. ---- Esta semana...

We are taking a break from the Avanzada Regia for a while and we move to Venezuela with a band formed in 2010. Céntimos by Okills. Serendipitous, thats the way I can define discovering this Tropical Rock, I was planning the schedule of which bands to watch on a music fest, and I wanted to start early, and bang, they were one of the fir...
