Hailing from Toronto’s fertile punk scene, Mexican Slang are one of the city’s best kept secrets, but not for long. The trio will release their official debut EP Inside The Velvet Castle on July 15 via the ever consistent Buzz Records (Greys, Odonis Odonis, HSY), an amazing blast of psych rock and garage punk, twisted together within infectious melodies that are equal parts rough and deceivingly sweet.
Lead by Annabelle Lee (vocals/guitar), the up-and-coming trio has developed an unmistakable presence in Toronto’s underground music community, with Lee being lauded as “quickly becoming one of the best songwriters in the city”. Stereogum premiered the EPs first single, “Blisters,” calling it “hazy garage rock with a crushing power chord refrain that will lay you flat”.
