QUINONES, Joey - Inna Soul Steady Situation - orange vinyl LP (indie exclusive)

Debut LP from frontman of Thee Sinseers. If you were to ask Joey Qui\u00F1ones where he found inspiration for his music, you wouldn't have to look far from where the East LA son grew up. Listen to his work, and you're transported to a two-block radius of his neighborhood\u2014 from the liquor store to Sign of Music record store on Whittier Boulevard and back to a homie's house. In those two blocks, you hear cumbia blaring from the stores, punk rehearsals from a garage, oldies drifting from a neighbor's yard\u2014a sensory overload that follows you home, all those genres singing in your head at once. This isn't a revelation to longtime fans of Qui\u00F1ones' music. He has established himself as a premier interpreter of his generation, dedicating his career to offering his unique perspective on the Chicano soul songbook. But before Thee Sinseers, before the lush orchestrations and pitch-perfect harmonies that became his signature, Qui\u00F1ones cut his teeth leading various backing ban.
