Nashville's finest wrestling-masked instrumentalists have spent three decades proving that a guitar can say everything words can't, influencing generations of players who grew up on their Fender-drenched takes on classic surf and spy-movie cool. A new collection of originals from Los Straitjackets is genuinely an event, the kind of release their devoted following has been waiting years for. America's favorite masked guitar slingers, Los Straitjackets, are back with Somos Los Straitjackets, their first album of original material in over a decade. Channeling the eternal spirit of surf rock while riding their own unmistakable wave, Somos Los Straitjackets delivers fifteen tracks of twang-drenched riffs. From the sun-scorched intensity of "Polaris" to the funky undertow of "Two Steps Ahead," Somos Los Straitjackets is a sonic adventure that captures the freedom, danger, and endless horizon of a band at their creative peak. Tracks like "Spinout" and "High Wire Act" demonstrate why Los Straitjackets have reigned as the kings of modern instrumental rock for over thirty years with shimmering tremolo, relentless drum grooves, and hooks so catchy they don't need lyrics to get stuck in your head. Produced with a vintage touch but packed with fresh intensity, Somos Los Straitjackets is both a love letter to surf rock's golden era and a bold new ride into uncharted waters. Tracklist 1.
