This candor is evident from the very first notes, but with each subsequent listen the songs dig deeper and deeper, attaching themselves to the listeners own emotions and experiences until its songs become shared memories. downey takes its name from the Southern California city Nogueiras grew up in. “It’s a good representation of where I come from, and it’s nostalgic for certain elements of the past while still being sad about them,” he says. downey is a compendium of glory days and melancholy memories, of hopes for a future already passed, and for dreams that may still be one day be realized. The first album made by Nogueiras at Balboa Recording Studio in LA – which he built himself – it was recorded with bassist David Jerkovich (Kind Of Like Spitting, Novi Split), drummer Jeff Enzor (ex-Joyce Manor) and lead guitarist Juan Liñan and mixed by acclaimed producer/engineer John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, The Posies, Sleater-Kinney), it bursts and blooms with a vibrancy that’s a far cry from what NO WIN sounded like when, having left party punks FIDLAR, Nogueiras started it as a solo project some four years ago. Using the album as a way to explore his new studio space, Nogueiras – who has also produced records by Together Pangea, No Parents, and Mean Jeans and toured in Waterloo Teeth alongside members of SWMRS – took his time to make sure that everything on downey was exactly as he wanted and had envisioned it to be. That, combined with the powerful emotional punch of its songs is what makes downey a truly special record. It retreads the past with the eyes and wisdom of the present to create a collection of moments – of places, of experiences, of emotions, of people – that all combine to make us who we are now. Even if you’ve never been to Downey, it’s an album that anyone and everyone can relate to, even if their life experience is totally different, because it’s an album that captures the true essence of human existence and experience, no matter who you are, where you are or where you’re from. On Drugs -from Portland, OR -actually 3 young, growing boys stacked in a trench coat playing back up for steve's band Kevin Nichols Kevin Nichols Sam Thornton Hayden Eller Adrian De Voss -from Oakland CA -Kevin Nichols is a west coast staple, wasting no time delivering pop-infused grunge rock he coins “Prunge.” The last three years have seen him up and down the west coast bleeding his brand of rock into house shows and rock clubs. His last EP, a quick and earnest explosion of sensitivity entitled “Long Lungs” came out early 2019 via Slang Church. The EP found its audience in a burst of success holding the number one slot for over two weeks on Bandcamps’ Oakland Rock charts. The now expanded four-piece have powered their take of punk, grunge, and pop all around the SF Bay Area, and recently entered Balboa Recording with Danny Nogueiras (former FIDLAR drummer and current frontman of the LA outfit No Win) creating what will be the first full length from Nichols in three years. |
