From Coachella to Sunshine: The Red Pear returns to ABQ to promote new album

The Red Pears, made up of Henry Vargas on vocals and guitar, Jose Corona on drums and Patrick Juarez on bass, will stop in sa国际传媒官网网页入口 as part of its largest headline tour following a successful performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April in California.

The Red Pears gradually have been gaining a growth in popularity as an alt-rock band. From backyard shows to popular music festivals like Tropicalia, Viva! Pomona, SXSW, the band has been focused on developing its style.

Following a change in studio space, The Red Pears decided to cultivate its sound and create something unique on its album, 鈥淏etter Late Than Never.鈥�

鈥淭he new space allowed them full freedom to explore all production ideas without the limitations of studio time,鈥� according to a statement from the band鈥檚 publicist.

The Red Pears were able to focus on each individual song and see what each song needed to elevate it to the next level.

The result is an album that band members said is the culmination of who they are and what they love at a deeper level.

鈥淭he whole studio is a reformed garage studio from our friend who does a lot of our producing,鈥� Corona said. 鈥淭his album showcases a very hands-on approach with a very personal sound and refined details. It鈥檚 been nice to refine our sound and show everyone more of who we are. We鈥檙e improving on what we鈥檙e doing now.鈥�

鈥淭his sound is one that we cultivated on our own,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e really focused on using more tools that we have to our advantage, what instruments we were using and how we were recording our music. This was our first experiment trying this and I think it was a very important and thought-provoking experience.鈥�

As stated on the band鈥檚 biography, 鈥淏etter Late Than Never鈥� is a testament to its members鈥� life experiences and friendship turned brotherhood, as well as the band鈥檚 subsequent career.

鈥淭he title itself sets the tone for the album because it鈥檚 a collection of our evolution,鈥� Vargas shared. 鈥淚t represents the lifespan of us working together over the last decade, from before we were even formally a band, to the people, musicians and band we are now. Many things are finally falling into place for us and we鈥檙e able to creatively express ourselves better now than ever before. The title captures all of that pretty perfectly.鈥�

The band credits New York music mixed with Latin music in the 2000s as an influence for the album. Since high school, the group has always been interested in the grunge style of music and has developed its sound around it with a personal flair.

鈥淕rowing up, my parents played a lot of cumbia and as we started dissecting our sound and got in tune with what we wanted to do and incorporated a lot of that in,鈥� Corona said. 鈥淐orridos and cumbia have a lot of chords and beats that we like.鈥�

The Red Pears aren鈥檛 new to sa国际传媒官网网页入口. The band has performed three times in the Duke City, starting with its first show at Launchpad in 2018.

鈥淲e went to Launchpad for the first time and had like 10 people there, but they were there and super supportive and receptive to us and we鈥檝e seen them at other shows since then,鈥� Corona said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great feeling to come back for a show and recognize fans. New Mexico is like a home away from home and it feels like you鈥檙e with friends and family there.鈥�

Corona added people in New Mexico are what makes the band keep coming back.

鈥淭hank you to everyone in sa国际传媒官网网页入口 who supports us,鈥� he said. 鈥淲ithout your support, we wouldn鈥檛 be on tour right now and doing what we love as a job. Your support is very acknowledged and important.鈥�
