The Serpenteens

Together, Marco and Tracy are searching for the dark heart of rock and roll. The resolve of their pursuit pours out of every note of this fantastic debut record. Though the duo just started writing together within the past two years, their sound is already fully formed and functional. From the opening notes of “Corpse Pose,” it’s clear that The Serpenteens are chasing a colossal, almost symphonic sound. Octave fuzz, cowbell, and thumping floor toms introduce listeners to the band’s haunting tones. Though there’s a darkness imbued into the songs, the energy is nothing but infectious. It’s an onslaught of raucous joy.

The band chose to leave their Nashville home to make Revolution in the humid air of Miami, FL. On the first single, “Strut,” you can hear that swampy Florida weather in Argiro’s guitar. As the chords dive and swagger around Tracy Jean’s steady, looming groove, the band invites us to turn the “walk of shame” into a “stride of pride.” When thinking about the message they wanted to send on this record, the band says, “We believe that the current revolution is an ongoing revolution… and is not only a social, political, and cultural revolution but most importantly a revolution of the mind and choosing to live within love consciousness.” The Serpenteens are giving us a front row seat to that cultural shift. With every snare cracked and string broken, Tracy Jean and Marco Argiro are hoping for a true connection with their audience.
