"Known for its bilingual music rooted in community and social justice, this post-punk three-piece rock band from Chicago consists of wives Jessica Rodriguez and Juny Alvarez and Andrew Doyle. The outspoken and multidimensional band fuses Latin rock and punk rock with tropical vibes, as heard on the 2023 album Renacer. The trio recorded it in Colombia with Grammy Award-winning music producer Christian Castagno."
