Reckon I’m gonna have to beg borrow or steal a copy of the rest of “Timeliness” by The Mud Howlers – ’cause “Alchemist Gold,” the single they sent me flat ROCKS. I can’t get the idea of comparing this to John Lennon and the rockin’ Beatles songs out of my head… Here folks, is an independent band that intentionally or not, cop the Beatles rock sound, and by golly, they do it every bit as well as John and Paul ever did – at least on this song (I’m off to hear some more now, bye).

“Something magical happens when you mix a love of the desert, all things trippy, and a philosopher’s soul with a fearless love of heavy guitars, blues, classic metal, and psychedelic rock. You get the Mud Howlers, who are bringing their unique brand of shake-a-delic-rock straight from the Desert of Sonora in Hermosillo, Mexico.

The foursome – brothers Nathan Larrinaga (vocals/guitar) and Norberto “Norbi” Larrinaga (bass), along with Felipe Garcia (guitar/keyboards) and Carlos “Charlie” Molina (drums) – recently moved to Los Angeles with their debut, full-length album, Timeliness, in hand and a rapidly growing fan base that includes members of the Arctic Monkeys, Kinky, and Molotov.

The 10-track album, which was produced by Latin Grammy Awards-winners Tito Fuentes of Mexico’s answer to Rage Against the Machine, Molotov, and his production collaborator Argentinean producer/composer Camilo Froideval, is already garnering rave reviews, such as this one by Wanting Wave: “[The album] makes you see everything with a sepia filter, transports you into the wilderness of Hermosillo, where they originate, and you imagine having a duel or drinking a good drink in a tavern with swinging doors.”‘
