YOKOZUNA II, YOKOZUNADiscos Intolerancia, Mexico **1/2Rating: 57By Carlos Reyes Yokozuna may not sound very familiar to you if you’re outside Mexico City, it’s one of the city’s most respected contemporary rock bands, because well, they got the attitude and they rock harder than the average rock band. I’ve always had a blockage with their songs, and that’s really uncomfortable,

When we tell you Julieta Venegas is our lost fonogramatica sister it’s for reals, she’s got an awesome taste, or so we think so; just look at our MySpace top friends and Julieta’s top friends and you’ll notice what I’m talking about. If you’re already following her you probably know a bunch of new bands and today she linked her 15,000 followers to Colombia’s Esteman. We don’t get m

Here is the charmingly explicit new video by Piyama Party, who recently released one of the year’s best rock albums (review + download here). “Nosotros Los Rockers” is the opening track from Mas Mejor, and I guess this video would make it the third single from it following the very awesome “Solo te veo en bodas” and bestoftheyear contender “Fan de Carcass.” The two cute cats and the

Many have asked why we're not going nuts over Neon Indian, or if we know about it. Of course we're aware of Alan Palomo; we actually met him some time ago while he was singing some Spanish-language songs, the guy and the people around him are very creative people. Honestly, I've had a rough time digesting his songs, but his CD arrived a few days ago and it sounds pretty good as a whole. It will...

We’re big fans of Ulises Hadjis, one of those few young singer-songwriters that merit to be referred as cantautores. His debut album Presente, was one of our favorite albums of 2008, a quiet concise listen of temporal excursion, it’s also a seamless and intimate offering in its way to transcend into the realm of the melodramatic popular song. Everything is set for the re-release of the album,

We got the new Banda de Turistas CD a few days ago and it sounds pretty good, honestly, we didn’t know about them until recently. Their previous 2007 release, Magico Corazon Radiofonico was one of the most praised rock albums of last year, how did we not picked up on it? I have no clue; it’s one of those rare occasions that remind us that we are settled in the U.S. and people say it takes long

VALENTINA FEL, VALENTINA FEL Independiente, Chile ****Rating: 89By Carlos ReyesValentina Fel is like a hyperbole of music’s very own fetishism; her powerful funky voice literally devours any beat coming her way, it’s erotic, wacky, fascinating, and at the end, very pleasurable. Valentina Fel sounds gigantic; it’s the realm of pop on the verge of detonation. Valentina treats music as the vein
