Puta Madre Brothers are a pretty oddball group. A three man one-man band (each member plays guitar and drums simultaneously), their sound is pretty unique. There's a semi tex-mex sound, but with an off-kilter beat, and all sorts of what-not thrown into the blender. It's not entirely instrumental, but it's instrumental enough. Here, have the description from Rookie Records' website, I like what they say more.
It has been three long boring years since the mariachi rock en roll inbreds released their last album It’s A Long Long Way To Meximotown. Why? Nobody knows why. In late 2012 they exclaimed “we have won the war we went out to fight. Taco stands have crept into all of society, our job here is complete.”. So they called one last show, then played a few more, and one more, and another, etcetera. The truth might be that they went to live in Florida without visas, worked as ukulele repair men, acquired terrible drug habits and gave many children a fatherless mother. The truth might live in a forgotten novel. Then in December 2014 they came back to Mexicow, three overweight has-beens, with some urging to get fit, make some more new dance music, and put that stuff in their hair again. Over 2 evenings they recorded 8 new hit tunes, 8 new short sharp hit tunes, squashed them together and here it is, AMOR Y BASURA, the new short/fast-album from PUTA MADRE BROTHERS. The third! It sounds older. They are no longer children, yet although the album lacks any wisdom or maturity that you might expect from a band which ages well, it does contain temperament, exhaust pipes, and brand new lyrics.
It's streaming on bandcamp. Give it a listen!
