Reviews & Opinions
PUNKY GIBBON: One terrific punk band (The Plugz) in their heyday, and one average punky rock band (The BRAT). The rest is not punk or even new wave, and is a rather intriguing compilation of other L.A. bands which the compilers consider part of "the current Chicano Musical Resistance". According to the liner notes, Felix And the Katz offer "a blend of Latin Rhythms and 'New music' rock", Los Perros "specalise in the interpretation of Mexican Chicano and Latino Folkloric-protest social commentary", Mestizo "features a unique blend of R&B and Chicano Salsa", Califas "have been performing in the Southland since 1979, featuring a diverse repertoire ranging from Salsa Jazz to Ranchera", and so on.
