"Nestled neatly in between the punk, hardcore, thrash, Troy-core, and pop-punk genres that make up the Albany, NY music scene, you will find Aficionado. Part indie, part rock, and a little bit of experimentation, Aficionado are set to release their new full-length on the world... Their style is a mix of big guitars, male/female harmonies, anthematic choruses and a rock hook that you just can't shake off. It's a refreshing sound, boasts upbeat energy, and should get you excited for the forthcoming full-length." - Filter Magazine
"The record stacks up against some of the year’s best, and it’s because of that that we could not be more excited to stream a brand new song from the record..." - Property of Zack
Following the news of their upcoming US tour supporting Cursive frontman Tim Kasher, Albany, NY's indie-punk hybrid Aficionadohave just premiered the latest track off their forthcoming self-titled full length album out July 26th on No Sleep Records.
With ten songs produced and recorded with AJ Mogis (Bright Eyes, M. Ward, Cursive), and following their critically acclaimed "When It Comes To Creation" EP, the songs on Aficionado's latest are sharp and more compact with less of an emphasis on wowing people with over the top antics and more of a focus on the songs themselves. The lyrical basis is centered on expositions of thinking for yourself, attaining what it takes to be a charismatic person, heeding to the realities of aging, and acceptance of change. Drawing from a range of influences such as Cursive, The Hold Steady, Sunny Day Real Estate and At the Drive In, Aficionado incorporates the sweet honey coated coo of Laura Carrozza which tinges the melodies and a harmonious male/female vocal styling alongside singer Nick Warchol.
On their upcoming new album, Aficionado have created an opus based on the basic concept of pure camaraderie and solidarity amongst good friends, with the aim of simply making good music.
