California-based roots-rock band, Beaux Gris Gris and The Apocalypse, have announced the release of their 3rd studio album, Hot Nostalgia Radio. Produced by the band, and mixed by Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Feeder, Skunk Anansie), it is due out May 03rd. This update comes with the release of the first single, “Satisfy Your Queen.” The new song is accompanied by a video, created Greta Valenti (vocals) and Robin Davey (guitar), through their creative agency, Grow Vision. Check it out below and read more from the band.

Front woman, Valenti explains: “We’ve had over 4 years to write this album. The last album was recorded in 2019, pre-pandemic and then we had to sit on it for two years. I had over 100 songs ideas waiting to go, but I really wanted this album to represent classic simple songwriting that strikes a chord within your soul. Every song should be a banger in some way, and these songs are really an evolution of who I am and who we are as a band. They’re not complicated on the surface, but I hope these songs make you feel and are added to the soundtrack of your life – fitting seamlessly with the songs you already know and love.” Greta adds, “So even though the songs may veer from Rock to Blues to Soul to Americana-Country to Singer-Songwriter, they are still essentially 3 to 4 minute pop songs. Our fans aren’t genre-specific and neither are we. They just like good songs and wanna have a good time. And so do we.”
“I think our approach harkens back to when bands like the Beatles would write a bunch of different style songs, be it country, or psychedelic, or whatever they did they would always sound like the Beatles,” Robin Davey adds. “We certainly don’t sound like the Beatles, but I hope that no matter what we do we are still easily identifiable as Beaux Gris Gris.”
