HOT NEW MEXICANS from Athens, GA emailed me some songs that was intended to go on a , at the time , homeless album. I was pretty damn blown away 2 songs in. Played with em, met em briefly, dug their Fast Crowd 7″, but this stuff was just mind blowing! First thing that came to my mind was that it was a hybrid of The Arrivals and Torrance’s own Nip Drivers. That’s a strange strange STRANGE combo but it made me freak a lil harder about the songs. It was just something you won’t hear everyday. But i was swamped and my hands were tied with pressing plant “issues”. Enter Houseplant Records! I’m glad to be a part of this with them. They only have a few releases so far but hey sure are batting 1000!
