Hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Davila 666 plays fierce Spanishlanguage garage-pop with gang vocals, tambourines, pop hooks, guitar licks and even a touch of psych here and there. Elements of early Stones, Jesus and the Mary Chain, Dead Boys and 60s girl groups are all evident in Davila s sound. Since their 2008 self-titled debut album, they ve released a slew of singles and EPs on labels like Ho- Zac, Rob s House and Douchemaster. The album even received a coveted cassette release on Burger, a garage rock signal that they ve arrived if ever there was one. Davila 666 toured the US on a mammoth three-month trek that would ve made Black Flag weary, as well as completed a massive slog across Europe. As soon as they began recording tracks for their much anticipated follow-up, Tan Bajo, which means so low, the band realized the sounds they were making were darker and more psychedelic than their previous output. Though it retains the pop and rock n roll one would expect, Tan Bajo is Davila 666 s most cohesive release to date.
