    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

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).

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
