We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Gringo’s new music video for their song “Little Spider” (watch it below). The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming LP The Shores, which is scheduled to be released on June 16th.
Ryan Gillespieof Gringo comments: “This song is a commentary on a rocky relationship. The cleanliness of the white, clean and unscathed setting parallels the beginning of a relationship, but as the video concludes, the once pure surroundings take a turn for the worst.”
About the band:
In case anyone still needs reminding that California is a sun-drenched paradise with a laid back mentality and great surf, one listen to Gringo’s upcoming album The Shores should be enough to sufficiently drive the point home.
The Northern Californian garage rock outfit is the brainchild of San Diego native Ryan Gillespie, who has spent his time to date between Redding and his birthplace embracing those ideals. Before he could even swim, Gillespie was hanging ten from the front of his uncle’s surfboard and has since grown into the embodiment of his easy going, fun loving home state.
Gringo’s ten-track debut is a collection of stories from the last year and a half of Gillespie’s life on the west coast and, despite this being the band’s first release, it seems as though the singer/guitarist has been preparing for it for most of his life. Since picking up his grandfather’s guitar at age 14, music has had him hooked. Through his teens he would fill whichever seats were open in the church band he played with, often learning parts to instruments he had never played before via online tutorials the week before a performance.
This overconfidence seems to have paid off, however, with Gillespie claiming sole writer/performer credits on The Shores, which boasts a cohesion not typically present on debut albums.
