Recipe for success


Tuesday 12 February – take a large bowl of Brum, add a pinch of Red Hot Chili Peppers choppy guitars, a generous bunch of Stereophonics vocals, and a ladleful of singalong-a-QOTSA choruses. Mix well and serve with a side salad of Feeder. What have you got? X, the debut album from The Mexicolas.

The Mexicolas are a three-piece from Birmingham:

  • Jamie Evans - Vocals / Guitars / Keyboards
  • Tim Trotter - Drums / Percussion
  • Del Carter – Bass

It’s probably a bit early in the year to be talking about “debut album of 2008”, but this could well be it. Thirteen fantastically constructed tracks, packed with swagger, big riffs and gravely vocals. Instantly outstanding tracks are; Big in Japan and the hauntingly beautiful Times Infinity. But, honest truly, every track is instantly memorable. I highly recommend this album.

The Mexicolas are playing at Fibbers on 12 March 2008. Catch them or cry.
