BASIC INFO: Inkblots are a four piece band made up of Sam M. (vocals), Bernardo R. (bass), Jesus N.(guitar) and Irving N. (drums), stemming from Santa Ana, CA.
Since their formation in 2005, Inkblots have released two EPs and, in late 2008, their first self titled full length album under Vacant Bunny Records.
Mixing a variety of styles from folk, blues, to good old fashioned rock and roll, Inkblots provide a sound that is both original and yet strangely familiar.
MEMORABLE SHOWS: In July of 2009 Inkblots headlines the Mission Creek Music & Arts Festival's AlterLatino Rock Showcase in Oakland, California.
Inkblots has performed headlining shows in famous L.A venues such as the Troubadour and Whiskey A-Go Go and under the same bill as such top acts as The International Noise Conspiracy and Nortec Collective.
MEDIA: Inkblots music can be requested in several radio stations in Southern California & the San Francisco Bay area, as well as Mexico.
Inkblots had their first live TV appearance on the Fresno morning show Great Day in the summer of 2008.
WHAT THE PRESS HAD TO SAY ABOUT INKBLOTS: Erin Dewitt of the OC Weekly wrote of the band “Samuel Munoz (vocals, guitar), brothers Jesus (guitar) and Irving Nunez (drums), and Bernardo Rodriguez Jr. (bass) play together with a solidity that surpasses the band's lifespan of less than three years. Munoz exhibits a distinct tone in his velvety drone, not unlike Paul Banks of Interpol, adding a layer of warmth to Inkblots' music. Their easy and cool feel is a level usually reserved for groups of a more mature caliber.”
the Inkblots strike with an updated grittier energy that Gustavo Arellano relayed to me once as reminiscent of the Animals. The band has been moving forward, cleaning up its demo into a full length album released on Vacant Bunny Records, filming a music video in support of it and perfecting their charismatic stage shows. Inkblots dig into some Spanish on the track "Mexico" which rides a bass line that's funky in any language.
