Los Blenders

Mexican garage rock band Los Blenders mix and match the punk aspects of garage, the reverb-heavy twang of surf music, the trippy textures of psychedelia, and some of the modern punch of bands like the Strokes. Early recordings showed off the joyously sloppy energy of youth, but as they grew up, their sound calmed down and became more interesting. By the time of their third album, 2020's Mazunte 2016, the group had become a stellar example of how to play modern garage rock with fiery passion and skillful reserve at once.
