Carmelita

ENG

Carmelita is a loser-core / power pop band influenced by guitar bands from the current international festival circuit such as Japandroids, Beach Slang, Soccer Mommy and Car Seat Headrest.

The band was born out of a folk duo made up of singer songwriter Patrick Kilbride (Lead vocals and rhythm guitar) and Alex Garcia (Lead guitar) back in 2016. As a side project, Patrick started work on a demo tape which added a more garage-rock flavor to the acoustic songs the band had been working on. With this new-found sound, the band enlisted Ricardo Costa (Drums) and Bruno Motta (Bass), two Brazilian multi-instrumentalists, who fell in love with Patrick’s no frills style as well as the dry humor of the lyrics which tell tales of shame, regret and relationships.

Carmelita es una banda de loser-core y power pop inspirada por bandas alternativas de la escena internacional como Japandroids, Beach Slang, Soccer Mommy o Car Seat Headrest.

Concebido inicialmente en 2016 como un dúo de folk formado por el vocalista estadounidense, Patrick Kilbride, y el guitarrista de ascendencia cubana Alex García, el grupo empieza a crear una maqueta casera incorporando un sonido mucho más garajero a sus temas ya compuestos. Pensando que posiblemente habían dado con algo, salen a la búsqueda de nuevos componentes para completar la formación. Es aquí donde entran en juego Ricardo Costa (Batería) y Bruno Motta (Bajo), dos brasileños multi-instrumentistas.
