Straight out of Central Coast Califaztlan come Sapos Muertos, a three-piece crew with plenty of machismo and a sense of humor. I won't divulge the English translation of Sapos Muertos, as it just sounds better in español--let's just say it describes the music well. On X=The Cycle, these guys play wicked vato rock, with a lead singer and guitar shredder named"Sapo Guapo" Michael Hilden. Hilden's vocal delivery sounds like a cross between Tom Waits and Jim Morrison. Drummer"Sapo Moreno" Americo Castillo delivers locomotive tomahawk beats. On Bass"Sapo Feo" Seth Millwood also sings cozmic cartoon stories about love and torture. This album is a classic.
