Personal Opinion:

I heard this band because of a friend from Venezuela, he showed me "Hornos Del Cal" in a party but it kind of blurred out a bit because of the noise from the party but even so the tune got stuck in my head and decided to look them up and man I'm glad I did, they are my current obsession and I am liking them a lot, they really have a very mixture of genre's and it is great, if any of you like Indie with a little twist check them out.
