Today, Giovannie and The Hired Guns announce their new album Tejano Punk Boys and share a music video for their latest single "I Don't Mind."
One of Amazon Music's 2022 Artists to Watch, the band recently announced a coast to coast summer tour including a stop at Lollapalooza as well as shows in Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and many more. Tickets are on sale now, and find a full list of tour dates below.
"'I Don't Mind' is a song about temptation, and how sometimes the temptation becomes too strong to resist," explains bandleader Giovannie Yanez. "The video came to me one day after watching Den of Thieves. I thought it would be nuts to do a bank robbery video, but throw my own little spin on it. I feel like we made a real fun video with all the essentials. Fast cars. Check. Women. Check. Guns. Check."
In the last year, Giovannie and The Hired Guns have grown from a massively beloved local live act to an undeniable new force on the national rock scene. Hailing from Stephenville, TX, the band's high-octane collision of rock-and-roll and country has garnered a massive following almost entirely through word of mouth.
Since releasing last summer, the breakout single "Ramon Ayala" has amassed more than 13 million streams, is currently in the Top 25 of both the Active Rock and Alternative Rock radio charts, and was hailed by American Songwriter as "a cathartic anthem for the underdogs and rejects of society." The band's follow-up alt-rock single "Can't Answer Why" received similar praise, with critical attention spanning from Whiskey Riff to Loudwire.
Redefining what it means to be a Texas band, Tejano Punk Boys showcases Giovannie and The Hired Guns' hard-hitting sound, emotionally raw storytelling, and the kind of authentically gritty energy that is too often missing from rock music today.
The band's unbridled passion radiates in each live performance, an electrifying spectacle that invariably leaves audiences both sweat-drenched and ecstatic. The group continues to sell out shows all over, with a collection of songs that inspire just as much head banging as it does two-stepping.
Fronted by Mexican-American lead singer/guitarist Giovannie Yanez and featuring Carlos Villa (guitar), Jerrod Flushe (guitar), Alex Trejo (bass guitar) and Milton Toles (drums), Giovannie and the Hired Guns is a band of brothers hell-bent on breaking out beyond the Texas border and bringing their guitar-fueled, alt-rock sound to the masses. With Tejano Punk Boys, it's clear this band is primed to do exactly that.
