Hard Rock from Las Vegas, and no I’m not talking about the casino. Adelitas Way; the edgy, empowering rockers self-titled album is a delight. Single Invincible is self-explanatory in its connotation. It’s in-your-face, percussive, fast-paced and mysteriously attractive for an alternative song, “I’m rising up, I’ve had enough,” — it’s not just a debut smash; it’s also a pertinent explanation of singer Rick DeJesus’ willpower to succeed and overcome his background of a childhood ravaged by drugs and poverty. I was recently given the opportunity to see these guys on the road with Papa Roach, and heard various people in the crowd noting this band buzzworthy. I bet these guys sell a majority of their records on the road, because their live set gains fans. Lights down, music on, fists up.

Despite an album tinted with simple lyrics, the strength of Adelitas Way is in their ability to lay out the songs in a way all can understand. Although hard hitters, the band is not all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It’s more about the way the music reflects the lyrics, by putting themselves in the shoes of the listener. Adelitas Way is definitely the right one, for it has something for everyone; it’s fresh, it’s hot, it’s thunderous, it whispers, it rocks, it’s poignant, and most importantly, it grips your soul.

If you can’t catch these guys on the road, be sure to add the album to your collection. For we all love a good dosage of balls to the wall, never let you go, in-your-face rock and roll.
