Like a blood red sunrise, there's something vaguely unnerving about Brooklyn, NY's cholo. Maybe it's the eerie tonal resemblance vocalist Felipe Flores bears to fellow spine-tingler (Smog); maybe it's the way that Flores and co-vocalist Rosa Bordallo harmonize in the offbeat fashion of John Doe and Exene Cervenka. It could be the out-there saxophone melodies and sharp chords that bring to mind flashes of Big Black and Naked City -- in the end, however, what's most disturbing is how cholo's deceptively catchy hooks and thorny runs get caught in your eardrums like branches in your hair.

Larry Fitzmaurice - SPIN


...In addition to the standard guitar stunts, horns, strings and co-ed vocals take turns as the driving force behind Unlimited’s 12 rambunctious tracks. At times this invokes the kind of dreamy swells that make up an Oscar-worthy musical score; more often it produces a manic frenzy, playful and intentionally clumsy like a three-legged race of artistic concepts. No doubt whichever mood they’re toying with, cholo’s diverse quintet is intent on keeping things interesting while having plenty fun themselves.

What could have been a schizophrenic headache shows just enough restraint and sense of proportion to keep you from punching your speakers out – but at times cuts it extremely close. Assisting this evasion are cheeky lyrics and the candid but skilled musicianship that suggests a killer live show. Rosa B’s lead vocals on “Coconut” and “Blue” conjure American Thighs-era Veruca Salt and breakout Yeah Yeah Yeahs respectively, and “Jose on Vaycay,” a could-have-been love child of Pavement and Cake, proves that any niche there was for energetic, multi-national power performers has indeed been filled...


Eliza C. Kane - Stranded in Stereo


This New York four-piece, comprised of musicians from Guam, Peru, Ireland, and exotic New Jersey have made one hell of a record, albeit brief (nine songs, 26 minutes). Highlights include a killer rendition of Shel Silversteins poem Rock and Roll Band, and 101, a hip song with female to male call-and-response vocals, trumpets, and tons of tremelo. If you like the raw indie-rock of the 90s, you will, most likely, love Cholo. One cant help but wonder why Cholo is unsigned; are they that independent? Regardless of their label status, Cholo is brilliant.

Ryan Shelton - SLUG Magazine


You’ve got the dramatic vocals, guitar strumming that rides the line between 50’s guitar pop and some sort of light flamenco, occasional ooh-ooh-oohs, snaps and claps, surfy drums, and even face-melting guitars – all in just the right proportions

The Deli Magazine


...the songs are short and sweet, but the band makes just about every second count on this nine-song mini-record. Everything is done super lo-fi and the sound is stripped down, super cool rock 'n' roll.

Life in a Bungalo


This Brooklyn four-piece loves to make goofy indie tunes that have a strong kick of guitar. With a strong fixation to The Pixies and The Deadmilken you'll be laughing as you listen to each one of their 9 songs from this debut album.

CRASHIN'IN


“Cholo’s first release…is a solid exercise of indie rock which at times nourishes the conterpoint of melody and roar of the Pixies mixed with the rock and roll amphetamine and intelligence of X and Sonic Youth.” – Translated from newspaper El Comercio in Peru


... Felipe strikes me as sort of the Latin-American Dave Berman (of The Silver Jews) ... Pretty cool stuff. - shmat records

Thanks for the kind comment. Sorry for the delay, but I've been putting the final touches on the debut record. It's up now on itunes and amazon (amiestreet, rhapsody, etc.) There are 2 sides: Sink and Fall. "Sink" is more pop and electronic; "Fall" is more punk and country. We appreciate all your support. Have a happy MWU year
