NPR Features New Track "Cojones". Here's what NPR's AltLatino show had to say about the new album's opening track: "We love this song, which feels like The Clash, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Brian Setzer Orchestra and Tito Puente rolled into one. It also happens to be a feminist anthem protesting violence against women. Throughout the song, the lead singer repeats what his grandpa once told him: "around here, whoever beats a woman gets his cojones taken off." Nice.

up hormones,the future is on display now.
A really wild ride." --The Midwest Record

"Sounds something like a harder-rocking
version of Ry Cooder's Chavez Ravine. Edgy
attitudinal, bilingual guitar rock."
--SoundRoots
