Label: Yep Roc

Released 9/19/2025

America’s favorite masked guitar slingers, Los Straitjackets, are back with Somos Los Straitjackets, their first album of original material in over a decade. Channeling the eternal spirit of surf rock while riding their own unmistakable wave, Somos Los Straitjackets delivers fifteen tracks of twang-drenched riffs. From the sun-scorched intensity of “Polaris” to the funky undertow of “Two Steps Ahead,” Somos Los Straitjackets is a sonic adventure that captures the freedom, danger, and endless horizon of a band at their creative peak. Tracks like “Spinout” and “High Wire Act” demonstrate why Los Straitjackets have reigned as the kings of modern instrumental rock for over thirty years with shimmering tremolo, relentless drum grooves, and hooks so catchy they don’t need lyrics to get stuck in your head. Produced with a vintage touch but packed with fresh intensity, Somos Los Straitjackets is both a love letter to surf rock’s golden era and a bold new ride into uncharted waters. The first edition pressing of Somos Los Straitjackets is pressed on yellow vinyl and limited to 1,000 copies worldwide!
