If there were a class on how to make punk sound new without
ruining it, Mustangs and Madras could teach it. They would
probably turn down the offer, though, because they're having
too much fun on the road. Mustangs and Madras are a tight
group of friends who grew up together in the small Colorado
town of Longmont; they have been playing music for years,
have been a band for four years, and are now releasing a new
album on Latest Flame Records called La Lechuza. The songs on
La Lechuza are refreshingly substantive, sonically and
lyrically, keeping your ears full while tackling social
issues and the state of humanity without preaching. Paradox
of Grace, on which Gared O'Donnell from Planes Mistaken for
Stars sings backup, is a song the band says is loosely based
on the Columbine shootings, a tragedy that occurred just an
hour from the band's hometown; they add, It's a song about
regret. Talking to Mustangs and Madras, though, you'd never
know they understood the concept of regret- they're known for
making the best out of every situation. They are
light-hearted, hilarious, humble, and love their fans and
being on the road more than anything in the world. They also
ôhave so many inside jokes that we're not interesting. But we
make no apologies for that!ö Mustangs and Madras have
developed a very strong fan base in the Denver scene,
garnering praise from journalists and fellow bands alike.
They have toured America in the past playing with such acts
as 31 Knots, Avail, Planes Mistaken for Stars, Ricky Fitts,
Traindodge, and The North Atlantic. They plan to hit the road
in the US again in June to spread that fan base even wider.
Mustangs and Madras consider their fans part of their family,
and they would drop anything to help out their family. This
intense devotion may stem from their upbringing; the guys
stayed close throughout their childhood and were also part of
close-knit biological families. Three of the five band
members are Mexican and proud, and from this comes their
album title: La Lechuza refers to an old Mexican folk tale
about a shape-shifting woman who turns into an owl, an
according to some the woman is a bruja, or a witch. Mustangs
and Madras want audiences to watch out; theyÆre headed your
way soon.
