molino

Bio:

"...once track three of the EP "Looking for You" hits, the album’s veritable theme becomes more evident as a lonely acoustic guitar strums helplessly between two minor chords, which are known to demonstrate the less happy of moods. These are songs that are really just about the yearning for love, which is elucidated through song titles: “Everybody Needs Somebody,” “When She Comes,” “Looking For You,” and “Salvation.”

It becomes clear that the band is more than just about rocking your socks off in your blissed-out hour of boozing. Perhaps it’s because inside every dirty, bad boy rocker, there’s a wounded, outcast soul who has turned to the rock gods for deliverance from any combination of heartbreak, rejection, repression, or the mundane realities of life." -the deli magazine

"...Spaced-out psychedelic shoegaze arrives in the time warp of Molino's Salvation, which evokes images as deep as the sparks of creation and as entertaining as a virgin experience with Freshen-Up gum..." - Luxurywafers.net

"...Damn. With a sound that could have blown the roof off the Staples Center, these Echo Park rockers killed, absolutely killed their set @ the Silverlake Lounge last night. My ears are still ringing. I am talking about Molino.

Do not listen to these guys without ear plugs because they will leave your ears and the rest of your body reverberating like their sound does on stage. I wanted more last night only to realize their sound is TOO big for the spot they played at. Seriously, Molino has sheer power coming out this four piece band and well worth checking out." - Loudvine.com
