Angelica Garcia makes her arrival known with a stomp and a shout in energetic emergence ‘It Don’t Hinder Me’. Growing up in Los Angeles’ San Gabriel Valley with her half Mexican, half Salvadoran-American roots, Garcia was taught to be proud of her heritage and culture and it’s a fierce defense of her hometown that we hear in this track. Marked with elements of grunge, pop and Americana, the track is a marching anthem of gargantuan proportions. Garcia’s cascading vocals flow into her bold, gritty testimonial of just why her community is better than the L.A. “cool” experienced by the kids of screen writers and movie stars. This track is unrelenting; nests of spiking guitars, punchy drums, and Garcia’s instantly iconic vocal drawl. Angelica Garcia also has another new track out today, ‘Karma The Knife’, a punk-meets-dancehall number not to be missed either. - Hannah Thacker
