Rock’n’roll stalwarts Los Straitjackets have announced their new album Somos Los Straitjackets will release on September 19th through Yep Roc Records. Their first new record of all-original material since 2012’s Jet Set, Somos Los Straitjackets was produced by Alex Hall (JD McPherson, The Cactus Blossoms) and demonstrates why they have reigned as the kings of modern instrumental rock for over thirty years. The masked quartet also shared their thrilling new single “High Wire Act,” a nostalgic, suspenseful track with retro surf-attack hooks and a raucous, spry groove.
“This is one of those lucky moments when a song just writes itself, probably when I was struggling with another song,” said guitarist Greg Townson. “I put this on my record Beyond The Horizon, but thought if I changed the rhythm it could make a good song for Los Straitjackets.”
