This is catchy, light, faux alternative rock en espanol. I haven't heard a whole lot from this band, so I'm trying not too formulate a hasty opinion.
While I don't mind listening to this on the radio, I don't think I would go out and buy their album. Anybody else heard this yet?

JAM!
I looked for their album at Tower's closing sale but it was already gone. I hadn't heard their song until like a week before closing and I remember seeing their album!:(

Is Tower Records closing down everywhere. The store in Dallas also went out of business. It sucks because that and Virgin Records had the most extensive Latin music sections and now they're both gone. >:( |

I got like 15 Latin CDs from Tower before they closed. All the way up until closing day! (when I got Fanny Lu. LoL. for $1.70!)
But yeah, Tower is out of business. All should be closed by now. I know of at least four (in Cali & NY) that closed the week before Christmas.

Man, that sucks because I never had a chance to got to the one close to where I live right before it closed. I knew there were going to be a lot of good deals. And I wanted to get my hands on a giant Thalia poster they had...I wonder if they were selling those too. :(

I think they gave away all their promo posters. :/
My local NYC one didn't have any posters I wanted though.

Does anyone else think the lead singer looks like Adam Levin of Maroon 5? this could be a Maroon 5 song too.

I think they gave away all their promo posters. F*ck! I really wanted some of those posters. Anyway, I really don't know the actual band members very well. It's hard for me to distinguish these guys from Allison, so I don't know if the lead singer looks like Adam Levine.  |

Granted, I've only heard this song but I still don't see how they sound like Allison. MTV Tres also compared these guys to Fall Out Boy.

I'm not sure if I'm being snooty, but I'm just not taking these new rock bands that are coming out of Mexico very seriously. To me, it seems like they're just trying to copy their American counterparts. They're not being innovative with their music or bringing anything new to the table. What do you all think? |

Well, a lot of new American bands are like that too.

Well, a lot of new American bands are like that too. True, but it seems that bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance had their own distinctive style. I really don't like any of those new "emo" bands (that would also include Panic At the Disco, All American Rejects, Good Charlotte, etc), but I can actually distinguish FOB & My Chemical. To me, it's never good when a rock en espanol act is described as the "latin version of (insert name of well known American rock act)." That's why I enjoy bands like Cafe Tacvba, Babasonicos, Aterciopelados, Molotov, and Kinky just to name a few. They're not the latin versions of anything. |
