/gav-ee-oh-tahs/: noun - A rock band from San Francisco
Gaviotas have an aggressive yet melodic sound, combining elements of Alternative, Punk and Metal. They call it “Resistance Rock,” in the spirit of The Clash, and they believe that art thrives through and with struggle.
Lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Simon Timony says, “We're politically left, and no matter how much adversity we/Americans/Humans face, nothing should take away our humor, happiness, and love. Our conversations do sound like a Seth Rogan/James Franco movie, written by Noam Chomsky.”
Gaviotas have released two CDs: Unite!, produced by Eric Drew Feldman (Captain Beefheart, Pixies/Frank Black, PJ Harvey) and Assemble (self-produced at San Francisco’s legendary Tiny Telephone Studios). They recently completed their next project, a 7-song album called Skyline, which will be released in early August 2015.
“A metal-punk hybrid with a flair for smooth melodies and political lyrics...check out three songs (from Assemble), each of them aggressive but tuneful.”
