Royal Podencos

Royal Podencos is a garage, powerpop and indie punk-rockband based in northern Spain.
Members are Jota (former member and founder of the Tupperguarros) on guitar, Toni Arenal on bass, Jonathan Santamaría on drums and Hans Eguinoa, voice and guitar (ex the Gain, Madrid). The band has been around for 10 years this summer of 2022 and in this first decade they have performed live in Cantabria, on some Spanish stages, and have even taken their show to Stockholm, Sweden.

Royal Podencos now return with their third album Serotonin (Family Spree recordings) full of garage-indie-underground rock pills. A more introspective album, spinning fine lines between rock and indie, a path that the band had already undertaken in part on their previous album, Broken bones. Attractive without wanting to be too commercial, sometimes melancholic, Serotonin shows intentions and brushstrokes of 2000s college rock but also 90s indie bands from Jesus and Mary Chain, Cracker, Manic Street Preachers or Meat Puppets to the Pixies, without forgetting other more classical references such as the Stooges, The Doors, David Bowie or the Velvet Underground.
