Unknown - Los Punks Del Norte

BACKSTORY: The quartet includes a mixture of influences from old-school punk to rockabilly flair, encompassing the musical sway and revolutionary stylings of the classics. Formed in 2005, originally as a weekly stress-relieving jam session, the band evolved into a powerhouse equipped with shredding riffs and mad low-end licks too strong to be confined within the four walls of a garage.

Each member brings his own musical background of more than 20 years' experience setting and breaking artistic limits by pounding out a compelling blend of riveting, hard-hitting vocals, happening grooves and original songwriting that manages to portray their sound as both multifaceted and effortless.

After years of work and gaining a significant local following, the band is set to release its debut album. Each song embodies the style and essence of what the band has to offer. The album is sure to jolt your senses and unlock your mind.

QUOTE ME: "Sickadailies" -- word used by all band members to express great accomplishment.

NEXT GIG: July 11, Fat Cat Music House & Lounge in Modesto
