"This album's confidence and ambition pushes the Krayolas into a new artistic realm ... the many sounds of Texas flow through the music like a river, with norteño stylings jostling against ZZ Top chug, traces of sweet Buddy Holly pop contrasting roadhouse swing, country and jacked-up rock and roll ... a sheer delight of real consequence."
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.
