Dia - Jumbo


FEEDBACK BABY COMO QUIERA SE VA!


Jumbo are not a retro sixties underground band, though they are from Mexico. Their sound however is undeniably retro. Kind of like poppier Doors mixed with surf punk. This can be seen at it's most bombastic and holy-cow-gotta-dance-now best in today's Best Song Ever, Dia.



Jumbo were part of the avanzada regia music scene which poured out of Monterrey in the mid nineties. They started out as a humble classic rock covers band called Blueswagen, however cooler heads persevered and the band renamed themselves after an overweight baby named Jumbo. Of course.

Enjoy the pounding beats of Dia with it's wonderful Mariscal-meets-anime video by Mexican animator Vinnie Veritas.
