THE SALVADORS

About Me


It’s taken a while to get there, but in between name changes (ex Bakewell Street), losing a drummer, finding a few more, undergoing throat surgery, losing mixes in the post – finally, The Salvadors are proud to present their new single, Atacama Disco, taken from their forthcoming EP, Misspent Youth.
Atacama Disco enlightens us with the tale of a Chilean discothèque dweller, living on the outskirts of San Pedro in the Atacama Desert. She likes rock ‘n roll. She drinks Pisco. Her hair’s full of lipstick and liner. Cliché? No sir.
Having supported much loved acts such as The Panics, British India, Little Red, Bluejuice and many more across virtually every stage in Adelaide, The Salvadors are excited to release Misspent Youth upon the world.
Recorded with Matt Hills/Andy Russ in backyards throughout Adelaide and mixed by Scott Horscroft/John Stevioni at BJB in Sydney, Misspent Youth is a combination of right and wrong, it’s a party on a Wednesday morning, it’s a stolen romance.
Some local rag reporters see us this way:
“Numbed full of good time, bittersweet, fuzzy brown cardigan edges and delivered with ease. Kings Of Leon at their most blissed out broken yodel, driven by the rhythm attack of The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand. Full of blissfully easygoing charm.” [Spoz’s Rant – www.spoz.blogspot.com]
“......unpredictable songs that go from soft and dreamy to dark and sinister and back again in the blink of an eye.” [Jimmy Bollard – dB Magazine]
“Give it up for The Salvadors…. great tunes…and a bunch of nice kids to match.” [Jae Laffer – The Panics]
“Great off-beat, highly innovative music, with some odd time-signature and quirky solos. Great stuff! Good listening, creative, and the band enjoying themselves – exactly what you want to be seeing as a warm up to a rock set. They set the mood well and were seen off with a hearty round of applause.” [www.thedwarf.com.au]
“Every now and then you come across a band that has everything going for them and you’re astounded that you have never heard of them before. This was certainly the case with support act The Salvadors. Lead singer Tom Opie has a very raw and distinctive voice that could turn any song into a memorable one. The music crosses over into genres such as rock, pop, alternate with a slight hint of country. Tom impressed everyone when he announced they were going to perform a song that they had only just written hours before - the bands ability and guts to play such new material is inspiring.” [www.fasterlouder.com.au]
