For those who dig hispanic garage rock and miss Davila 666 here are three highly recommended Latino rock bands to become fans of – especially if you’re looking for bands without the unwanted over-hype but with the energy of bands before their first LPs

Los Blenders are coming from Mexico City and they are just about to become well-known worldwide with their dreamy tunes fully soaked in reverb.  Meta y dinero ruled over many music bloggers and their previous releases also have everything we really love about hispanic rock. This music reminds me of wanting to remain a kid/girl forever – what else do you need?

Mesa Cosa is a band from Mexico with an eclectic stage image – a short Mexican guy, a tall tambourine guy and … yes, saxophones. Their first and very promising EP Infernal Cakewalk came out in 2012 (I’d better post about it later than never, right?) so I bet it’s high time they came out with something new, hopefully they are still together. They basically play a powerful blend of The Stooges, Los Saicos, classic surf tunes and I guess they listen to all sorts of freak out music of the 00’s.

Eva & John is a Peruvian band from Lima and they are playing reverby epic noise pop songs, to which everyone wants to sing and jump around after a couple of drinks. With only two songs available so far (on a flexi single, which are probably still for sale) they managed to appear on numerous end of the year lists – on my personal one as well <3
