“¡Gracias a dios por Hollywood Sinners!”


With “Disastro Garantito”, this trio of misfits from Toledo, Spain cranks out 12 greasy retro-garage cuts in both English and Spanish. They dutifully honor the lineage of rock en español that that includes icons like Richie Valens and ? And The Mysterians. In true punk rock fashion, the whole party clocks in at just over 25 minutes with an average song length of barely 2 minutes. Hollywood Sinners rock your ass off quickly and before you've caught your breath, the next cut pulls you by the scruff of your collar back into the fray.

The opening track “No Soy Bueno” kicks off with crunchy guitar and manic rapid-fire drums that will immediately shake you out of your complacent doldrums. The rest of “Distastro Garantito” is a down and dirty barrage that reminds you of being in your favorite dive club with your shoes stuck to the beer-soaked floor. The hip-swinging yearning of “Quiero Una Novia Extrangera” brings it all together along with killer guitar riffs and hooky-as-hell melodies that will still kick you in your ass even if you don't speak Spanish.

In an era where we've lost touch with the beauty of recording raw music with real musicians in tiny rooms, the slam-banging grimy rhythms of “Disastro Garatito” makes you want to exclaim “¡Gracias a dios por Hollywood Sinners!”
