Echolocation

Echolocation is the astonishing debut album from Mendoza Hoff Revels, an electric and formidable new unit led by Ava Mendoza (electric guitar, compositions) and Devin Hoff (electric bass, compositions), and featuring James Brandon Lewis (tenor sax) and Ches Smith (drums).

A super-group of our time, all profound creative artists in their own right, rocking mightily together in their prime. 21st Century progressive rock played by punk rockers with serious improv skills and jazz feel. And non-stop wicked catchy tunes, riffs, and grooves.

Strong sonic references are The Stooges' Funhouse, rendered by a band readily adept at rapidly swinging rhythmic and harmonic shifts (plus tenor sax on every track!) and also Minutemen, both their whole body of music and their fundamental egalitarian punk ethos.
