NOVILLERO



*REPOST*
Novillero are from Winnipeg, Manitoba. That's in Canada folks, so you know what that means, doncha? Great music. I can hear flashes of The Style Council (among others) in these tracks. How come these guys aren't all over the indie press and websites? Listen to these songs from their recent release, Aim Right for the Holes in Their Lives on B.C.'s Mint Records, and wonder along with me...

From their previous release, The Brindleford Follies on their previous label, Winnipeg's own Endearing Records...

    excellent find! Thanks! as always you're one step ahead of the curve. I agree with the first commenter also. Maybe that's because it's the first comment i Read. One last thing, i heard an artist the other day that made me think of this website: Kelley Stoltz.

    wow! 30 minutes ago I heard Novillero for the first time, now I´m a fan :-)

    and you´re right: how come these guys aren't all over the indie press and websites?

    seems that Canada is a great place for great music (again)!

    only one problem: the download of "Cat Scan" doesn´t work

  3. glad all you guys like novillero!

    Whsonic: i just tried the cat scan link and it works. the mp3 is linked from the insound.com website. try it again...

    and all you new fans should let the band know through their website contact that you like what they do.

  4. Just ordered the new CD through half.com. That Mint Records website really needs to make ordering easier. And it oddly has a price of $62 listed. Uh...?

    Hi. I play in Novillero (bass player in the picture that's posted)and I read the comments. Thanks for all the kind words, and I also have passed along the pricing TYPO!(Yikes!) to the good folks at Mint. I think the cd (Aim Right....) is $13 Cdn ordered direct from Mint. I'll try to find out why the encoding for Cat Scan was so weird. Sorry!
