In the heart of Mexico City, a trio of musicians is conjuring more than just melodies. Joshua Orozco, Said Avila, and Miguel Avila form a band that defies genre and taps into the surreal, the unknown, and even the paranormal. With a passion for music that borders on obsession and a disdain for creative limits, they’re crafting a sound that is as bewildering as it is captivating.
The three have been united by their love of music since childhood. It’s a passion that courses through their veins, driving them to create something truly unique. “We don’t give a fuck about genres,” they declare. “If it’s crazy enough, we’ll make it sound.” This fearless approach has resulted in a discography that is as experimental as it is enthralling. Their advice to aspiring musicians? “If you really wanna do this, listen to every genre you can, even if you don’t like it, you’ll learn something from it.”
Their latest release, dropping next week, promises to be just as unconventional. The song will come complete with a lyric video that is as weird as it is wonderful. But this is just the beginning. The band teases that more music is on the horizon, and it’s sure to shake things up even further. Despite their success, they remain committed to pushing boundaries and keeping their art fresh. “Things are kinda simple right now, and that’s good, we like it,” they admit. “But we’d like to add some… surrealism to the scene.”
Their apartment, which they share with a mischievous poltergeist, serves as the perfect inspiration for their otherworldly sound. The spirit, who they’ve named Donald, has become a muse of sorts. Their latest song is a continuation of their previous release, but this time, it features Donald as a character. “The first song was sort of experimental,” they explain. “So this time we wanted it to sound like ‘metal’ but without it actually being metal. We wanted it to sound more liminal, confusing even.”
With their genre-bending sound and supernatural inspirations, Joshua, Said, and Miguel are redefining what it means to be a band. They are artists who refuse to be boxed in, who find inspiration in the unknown, and who create music that is as captivating as it is confounding. As they continue to release new music and push the boundaries of their craft, one thing is certain – this Mexican trio is a force to be reckoned with.
Stay tuned for their latest release, and be prepared for a sonic journey that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. With Joshua on bass and vocals, Said on guitar and vocals, and Miguel at the helm as visual director, this band is ready to take the world by storm. Or, at the very least, summon a few spirits along the way.
