Romare

For all the considered concepts and unusual arrangements, Romare’s music is dance music at heart, and it remains a natural transplant into the live and club environment.

Jacuzzi Boys

Hailed by critics as “the most significant band Miami has produced in years” (Miami Herald) and loved for their sweat-soaked brand of melty garage rock, Jacuzzi Boys – Gabriel Alcala (guitar/vox), Diego Monasterios (drums), and Danny Gonzales (bass) – have released three full-length records since their humble beginnings in 2007.

The record has Dustin Payseur’s most vulnerable lyrics by far. He’s pushed himself to be honest and give… Read more »

After three years and half… Read more »
