THE REBELS OF TIJUANA


„Together with Le Pop Club Records, we're proud to announce this upcoming gem of a release: The Rebels of Tijuana - „Asile“; probably the most soulful homage to French 60s and 70s pop you will hear this year! Over two LPs the Rebels are exploring a universe of psychedelia, folk rock, pop and Latin jazz as blue as the smoke of a Gitanes and as bright as the sun on a summer afternoon. Singer Alexis Kacimi does not only provide some wonderful and dreamy vocals here but a good portion of fuzzy guitar licks and even some saxophone as well. Keyboardist Sébastien Bui adds some great Rhodes and organ sounds while a tight rhythm section of Julien Garric on bass and Romain Deshusses on drums makes sure you won't miss the groove. „Asile“ shows the Rebels at their best: rocking, romantic and overall grooving!“
