Project Name
Fulminante...
Formed in 2015, Santa Cruz, California's Fulminante has been making noise in the Bay Area and beyond. The powerful trio is comprised of guitarist/vocalist Brenda Martinez, upright bassist/vocalist Paul Raney and drummer/vocalist Josue Monroy. The party started when Brenda, a Los Angeles native, sought to play music along the veins of Manu Chao and Gogol Bordello and was looking for like minded musicians. Paul and Josue, who had played together in another project previously, answered the call and the rest is history. The band's sound incorporates punk, rockabilly, ska, twangy blues rock, as well as Latin influences to form a bombastic mix that will keep you moving. In 2018 they released their self titled debut album, produced and recorded by Olav Tabatabai at Noise Eater recordings in Santa Cruz, Ca. The album represents the bands energetic song writing and musical diversity. It consist of 10 tracks full of fun, upbeat Rock N' Roll with a little something for everyone!

All who suffer surely know
That all love does come and go away
In every city every night we can
Evenly divide our pain
Between the cheaters and the thieves
And the beggars on the street
With a little powder touch
We can always change this luck
You can never look away from the games
We like to play
As you pray
As you pray
That all love does come and go away
In every city every night we can
Evenly divide our pain
Between the cheaters and the thieves
And the beggars on the street
With a little powder touch
We can always change this luck
You can never look away from the games
We like to play
As you pray
