THICKER THAN WATER ARRIVES TO RAVE REVIEWS!!
"Thicker Than Water boils down to Vallejo’s crowning achievement thus far. Thicker Than Water…and bloody well righteous.” - Raoul Hernandez, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
“Vallejo melds a funky hard rock millennium style, with swiveling Latino rhythms and superfuzzy guitars. Vocals are surly and sleazy, adding a little dirt to the nearly pristine studio professionalism. There's no point in listening to this if you're not gonna turn it up to ten and free your hands for lots of air guitar/drumming flail.” - David Fricke, ROLLING STONE.COM
Thicker Than Water is the most consistent album of the band’s career and knowing just how hard Vallejo can work a good thing, 2008 looks to be a great year for the fresh-faced veterans.” - Michael Corcoran, AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN
“One of the louder bands on the Texas Latin rock scene, Vallejo brings two drummers, twin guitars and suggestive polyrhythms to an attack that would crumble the walls of Jericho.” - William Michael Smith, HOUSTON PRESS
