from their self titled EP released February 4, 2012 (also available at Cactus Music)
Bang Bangz is a tuneful trio that has a sound synonymous to their name. Armed with chill wave night sounds, soothing vocals, looping guitars and dulcet drumbeats all combine to create a stimulating sound that is mellow yet invigorating. Mario A. Rodriguez, Elizabeth Salazar and Vik Montemayor have constructed an organic sound that lingers in your mind after the first listen. All three members have been tied in the Houston music circuit since 2007 and have created a solid following of fans along with critics.
