Everyone needs Homies. For the sake of friendship of course and, for the sake of this post, good music. It’s likely you’ve heard of both Ghost Mom and the Shivas. If not, shed some light onto that rock you’ve been living under, because there’s somewhat of a new iteration to fall for. Homies has been in the making for a minute – basically since the somewhat indistinct hiatus of Ghost Mom – but after a couple band bumps in the road have found themselves fully formed and ready to let their music befriend us all.
Consisting of Ralf and Omar from Ghost Mom and Jared from the Shivas, the trio generates an equal parts fuzzy, bluesy and rocking sound cushioned with a chill vocal delivery…in Spanish! Homies is working on a grip of new stuff, from an EP to tours in Europe and Mexico, but have some Portland dates slated to happen soon. For now, enjoy the language of love, served to you on a platter of keen tunes.
