"San Antonio's Krayolas have easily written their way onto the top shelf of the state's best power pop outfits ... but the real surprise on 'Long Leaf Pine' is 'Corrido Twelve Heads in a Bag,' a rare piece of ripped-from-the-headlines commentary on a real event that occurred as part of Mexico's utterly tragic drug war."
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.
