“San Antonio's the Krayolas have been one of the American Pop Underground's best-kept secrets for more than three decades . . . the band has returned with a vengeance in the 21st century.”
"Last year's prophetic song, 'Corrido Twelve Heads in a Bag,' got the Krayolas national news attention as it addresses violence in Mexico and the US/Mexico border ... one of (NPR's) top albums of the year -- along with Norah Jones, Willlie Nelson, Lady Gaga and Pearl Jam."
Known as the Tex-Mex Beatles, the Chicano garage rockers have garnered flattering comparisons to the Fab Four, Bob Dylan, the Who, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe and Warren Zevon. The Krayolas have been profiled in Texas Monthly, The Washington Post, New York Times, The New Yorker, Paste, Pollstar, Rolling Stone, NPR’s “All Things Considered,” “Alt-Latino” and MTV, and are regulars on SIRIUS XM “Little Steven’s Underground Garage,” Dave Marsh’s “Kick Out the Jams,” KUTX and Ray Wylie Hubbard’s “Roots and Branches of Americana.”
In 2014, the Krayolas were inducted into the Texas Music Office’s South Texas Music Walk of Fame.
