Yung Jun “Yung Jun” instantly gets you moving with its rolling synth-bassline and drum combo. Pretty quickly the song builds, layering guitars, ambiance, cowbell, hi-hat and vocals. Tammar, Dave Walter and crew, do a great job moving the song forward while keeping the same groove throughout.

No Me Gusta La Pepsi We get it, you don’t like Pepsi. My imagination takes me to Lenguas Largas tearing apart a dive diner in Texas because a rude, and slightly hot, waitress gave them Pepsi when they asked for Coke. Clearly, the song “No Me Gusta La Pepsi” totally rocks. At just more than two […]
