JR #13: Los Padres - Struggle 12" EP 17 October 2017
After a debut album full of twists and turns, Los Padres are back with a sophomore 12” EP that once again challenges the norms of what rock should sound like.
Taking a full DIY approach on recording, production and mixing this time around, the band crafted a unique sound that sinks deeper in experimentation and sees them pushing sonic boundaries, striking a fragile balance between analogue and digital, harmony and distortion.
The Struggle EP is a short but incisive burst of energy influenced by the vibrant streets of London - it was recorded just next to Gillett Square, Dalston - but also expresses the frustrations and overwhelming pressures of the life in the big city.
After 3 years we're back to vinyl with a one-sided 12" in solid cream. Why one-sided? Because once again we decided to get artsy and create a unique side B which will be hand-sprayed by us and the band. Yes, all 300 of them, individually painted.

And we're also throwing a gig to celebrate, of course: the release concert will take place on November 21st at The Victoria, in Dalston, London. It's FREE ENTRY and doors will be at 7PM. Check FB event here.
