SATX Follows: Pop Pistol

Electronic indie rock trio Pop Pistol is Jorge Gonzalez, George Garza and Alex Scheel. Barefoot and with a truly multi-dimensional sound, Pop Pistol has an ethereal rhythm section, emotionally raw vocals (often layered to exude haunting harmonies) and an overall delivery full of synths, samples and noisy guitar-driven rock that continues to captivate audiences.

After years of build up, Pop Pistol’s Angelus made a much-hyped debut in 2010. The ten tracks on this self-released album are available for just $6 on Pop Pistol’s Bandcamp.

San Antonio Current: “The modern computer-calculated rhythms Gonzalez pounds out on a real live drum kit give Scheel’s guitar theatrics an ass-shaking appeal that counteracts the tendency toward glass-eyed space-jam swaying. In this light, the sense of classic-rock grandeur Scheel invokes with extended solos, extensive effects pedal-mashing, and agile feedback-surfing maintains a futuristic glow, and bassist George Garza finds the right groove to meld man and machine” (Jeremy Martin, 2010).
