It's a good day when you get to talk to the @palomino_blond squad! Carli, Kyle, Jake & Raven hop on the Based airwaves to discuss their latest split EP with Las Nubes as well as becoming active players in the South Florida DIY scene. After filling countless rooms with earlier projects, the members came together over a shared love of rock/live music, and released demos during the Summer of 2018. The demo has seen relentless support from their homegrown fanbase and regional college radio stations alike.

The band then spent time coining their sound, that could even be described as "shred-gaze" to add a little bit of edge to that classic shoe gaze foundation. The first song we get to hear is called, Seventh Heaven. Which can be described as a "moody crusher that has themes of personal connection, fever dreams, and ghosts. I wanted it to sound like you were in a big dark house while it’s storming outside, and you were convinced it’s haunted by someone you really don’t want it to be haunted by.” Palomino Blond also describes their sound as "sometimes evil, sometimes pretty" to perfectly capture the way the band operates and the way they are continuing to push out content mid-quarantine.
