“With a lot of bands that have an album coming up, I might wait for the album to actually come out before I write anything. But come on: we’re talking about freaking Norcos Y Horchata, one of my favorite bands. If they released the soundboard recording from a live performance in an Arby’s parking lot or a cover of the Vernors ginger ale radio jingle, you know I’d be reviewing it. It’s actually a poorly-kept secret that you can go listen to precious little album on Bandcamp already. But the official release date is September 5th, and that’s when I’ll review it. Today I want to talk about “Carbondale,” the closing track on the album and the second single in advance of its release. It’s a love note to Carbondale, Illinois and more specifically The Lost Cross House — the oldest punk house venue in America. The band had a memorable gig in that “dark and sweaty basement” a couple tours back, and it has been immortalized in this song. I love that the song celebrates not only one particular show but also the lifestyle choice of being in a band and going on tours. Why does anyone do this? It’s not to make money. It’s not to become famous. It’s about going out there, meeting like-minded people, and experiencing something magical and intoxicating when crowds connect to your music. Like a lot of songs on the new album, “Carbondale” finds Norcos Y Horchata building and expanding their sound yet holding on to the anthemic punk rock style they’re so known for. Pre-orders for precious little album are now open. Take The City Records, Eccentric Pop Records, and Rust On The Blade will be joining forces on this release, which I can assure you will be one of the year’s best!”
