Los Bastardos de Amor

About Me

Led by former Swerver frontman Jimmy Arceneaux (a.k.a. Jimmy Amor), Los Bastardos de Amor delivers all the punchy power rock of Swerver with an added hard-pop bite along the lines of Lit. This project has been a much-talked-about endeavor, and the band's first EP really delivers with five incredibly hook-heavy songs. It's a combination of the irresistible guitars and Arceneaux's distinctive voice that defines this band of locals, which includes Stevie Loveless(a.k.a. Steve Milligan), Chris Bastardo (a.k.a. Chris Knight) and Jack Bastardo (a.k.a. Jack Grossman). Energetic songs like "When She Comes Around" and "Impossible" absolutely sizzle, while "She's Still My Best Friend" dances through adolescence with a summery rock approach. The melodic "Everybody's Here" takes a slower pace as Arceneaux waxes introspective with the personal lyrics "Public smile, now what to say/ Nervous eyes that look away/ Drunk man stumble, fallin' down/ Can't find laughter in this crowd" and the lonely repeating chorus "Everybody's here/Everybody's here/Everybody's here but me." Overall, Los Bastardos de Amor make the kind of music that demands to be cranked loud. The debut EP was well worth the wait.
