“Los Straitjackets make their long-awaited return with Somos Los Straitjackets” – Glide Magazine

“this four-piece has coalesced into a tight rocking outfit.” – Americana UK

“The songs are diverse yet constructed with a retro mindset that never feels studied or stale. Additionally, it’s clear that the foursome is comprised of wildly talented members not only as players, but arrangers, keeping the tunes tight whether they are frothy, rollicking or romantic.” – Rock & Blues Muse

Los Straitjackets are masters of the ‘combo sound-‘ the two guitar, bass and drums lineup pioneered and popularized by the early Beatles. Using the music of the Ventures, The Shadows, Link Wray and Dick Dale as a jumping off point, the band has taken their unique, high energy brand of instrumental rock & roll around the world. Wearing their trademark Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling masks, Los Straitjackets have also served as the backing band for Nick Lowe since 2016. Their latest release, Somos Los Straitjackets demonstrates why Los Straitjackets have reigned as the kings of modern instrumental rock for over thirty years with shimmering tremolo, relentless drum grooves, and hooks so catchy they don’t need lyrics to get stuck in your head.
