Mala Vista, Ravagers, The Out-Sect, Vamanos — live event
Mala Vista, one of the many garage punk bands tearing it up in New York City right now, combine the hook-heavy charm of Eddie and the Hot Rods, the snotty tenacity of Dead Boys, and the super-fast chainsaw buzz of Ramones. While they've been compared to the many legends of punk rock, they've also shared some concert bills with a few of them including the Gories, the Mummies, 999, and once almost Protex, but the pandemic disrupted that. Composed of guitarist-vocalist Myke Miranda, bassist-vocalist Manuel Labour, guitarist Erik LAMF, and drummer Ben Heymann, the band's debut album, Ruthless & Toothless, is packed full of '77-style punk call-and-responses, sing-along choruses, and slashing guitar riffs that kick the adrenaline-filled record into an untapped level of marvelous frenzy. Distorted drums, buzzing bass, and a wall of ripping guitars all provide the fuel that's needed and it’s over before you know it. Ahead of their weekend tour, we caught up with Miranda to discuss how they hooked up with England's No Front Teeth Records for last year's debut LP, plans for their anticipated sophomore album, and how they've landed on bills alongside the Mummies and 999.
