Release Notes:
--------
Originally from Birmingham, AL, Banditos is a group - more like a gang, actually
- of six 20-somethings, nowadays operating out of Nashville, close to, and
simultaneously very far away from, the gleaming towers and industry hustle of
Lower Broad and Music Row.
With the rugged power of a flashy Super Chief locomotive, the BanditosÆ
self-titled debut album bodaciously appropriates elements of æ60s blues-fused
acid rock, ZZ TopÆs jangly boogie, garage punk scuzz a la Burger Records, the
Drive-By TruckersÆ yawp, the populist choogle of CCR, Slim HarpoÆs hip shake
baby groove, gut bucket Fat Possum hill country mojo and the Georgia
Motherf**king Satellites. From backwoods bluegrass, to slinky nods to Muscle
Shoals soul and unexpected bits of doo-wop sweetness, the Banditos recall many,
but sound like no one but themselves.
The album is layered with as much grime as it is with pinpoint songwriting and
feverish technical savvy. Each song wafts new dynamics into a streamlined
stylistic roots, punk, and rock ænÆ roll jet stream, the variations heard
evidently through the vocal baton passing and wrenching harmonies of Parsons,
Richardson, and Pierce. Each vocalist, as with each performer in the band, is
given the spotlight during the course of the albumÆs 12 songs. And at its core,
Banditos is a unified coalescence of six bright beams of light, a spiritual
collaboration between friends with a singular musical vision.
