It’s always great when expectations raised by a bold cover design are met seemingly effortlessly, and that’s certainly the case here. Violentos Torpedos de Realidad (translated: Violent Torpedoes of Reality) is the third full-length album by Spanish rock ‘n’ rollers Los Retumbes, with which the masked duo fires eleven garage rock bullets—gunpowder of surf & punk and rhythm & blues, as developed in the 60s—at us. Their sleazy sound and catchy rhythms hit the mark, resulting in dancing like crazy—be warned before you press the Play button.
Violentos Torpedos de Realidad is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Folc Records. Cover art by Juan Roller (Estudio Perkins).
