Thoughts:  Very little out there about this band.  No Wikipedia, the first blurb I found with a search was talking about how 2017 was going to be great for them.  It looks like since 2017, they have added a lady friend to do some of their singing.  According to another article, they were more of a punk band until they found their singer - Adriana Flores - which took the band into a more soulful, bluesy angle.  But seriously limited info.  They apparently resent being called a Latin band (because they are all latino/latina) because their music has nothing to do with that.

Only one album, 2019's In the Meantime.  Otherwise, one EP and some singles (two from 2023).  Not a ton of streams, but their top track is a 2020 b-side called "Over and Over."  3.2 million streams.

Some old school Daptones flavor.  Although not especially like much of the other songs in this catalog.  The other tunes angle more towards rock and roll with a soul influence, where this one just sounds like a classic soul song plucked from 70 years ago.  Their second and third-most streamed tunes are both from that single or a 2021 single, so it seems like this newer sound is the future.  I'll give you the 2021 single - "Tangled Up in You," with 2.5 million streams.

I don't know why their band name made me think of country, maybe I am thinking of the Waltons from that old TV show.  Dunno.  But this is another track that definitely sounds like a modern version of old school soul.  It's cool.  I don't see myself going out of my way to see it, but I'd definitely choose this musicianship over some computer pop singer.
