"The Krayolas sound rather like an updated version of Sir Douglas Quintet in their combination of Tex-Mex rock and British Invasion influences ... (but) there are more unusual subjects like Father Francisco Geronimo (in the title track), the shock of reading a death notice for an old friend ('Catherine'), and the cruises of a survivor of the early rock'n'roll era ('Nolan Street Bridge')."
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.
