Introducing Mexico
Indigo, a must listen for people that enjoy fun, no strings attached, rock
music. Formed in 2008, the band from Woking, draw their influences from 60’s
Rock n Roll and the underground sounds of late 1970’s Punk.
Their sound consists of
soft melodies infused with punk undertones, that carry a great pace and energy
to their music. The vocals are perfectly light hearted, with a twist of angst. Mexico
Indigo’s influences are evident when listening, collecting bits and pieces of
different sub-genres, within classic rock music, to form their own sound. This
is very clear in the difference in pace, between most of the songs. Also, loose
fragments of the nineties Nirvana and Green Day, can be heard, whilst
incorporating a modern indie sound, comparable to the likes of the Libertines.
Whilst the message, or
indeed narrative to their lyrics, seems somewhat unclear to the listener, the
vocals create a perfect ambience, which allows you to interpret the songs in
your own way. What is clear, is that there is intent and direction in the
songs. Almost a struggle, which is a classic punk trait.
Their best song ‘Lost
and lonely’ has a rough and urban feel. The songs theme, sounds almost as if it
were written in the moment of a gig, in their local underground punk scene,
drawn from a library of past sounds. Their music is a testament to classic song
writing, displaying a good variety of tastes, revealing a very unique kind of
energy to their music, which is filled with angst, gritty bass and an
appreciation for rock and roll, and thrashy punk music. Clearly, a well read
band, who know exactly what they like and know how to party.
Overall, it’s a very fun
sound, from a band that carries a lot of enthusiasm. A must listen.
