We haven’t written about music from Costa Rica before, but it’s about time. San Ramon trio Equus releases Caos, an EP with five raucous tracks that are just as surreal as their cover art. Francisco Sanchez (vocals, bass), Kenneth Chavarria (guitar, backing vocals) and Edward Rodriguez (drums) play bluesy garage rock laced with punk, psych and even metal influences. Not as chaotic as the title suggests, but quite diverse. Always heavy, energetic and enchanting, played tightly – very worthwhile.
Caos is out now digitally (self-released). Add to wantlist: Bandcamp
