Puerto Rico’s independent music scene has a variety of musicians coming up across all genres. One of the bands to receive a lot of support from the community all over the island is the rock trio Jorge & Los Físicos. Thus, as they gear up to release their second EP soon, it is nice to take a look back at their first EP, “Tierra,” where they showcased their classic rock, blues and 1990s rock influence. (cover art for the EP) As the amount of art and content pumping in and out every day becomes broader and broader, it is hard for musicians to leave a good impact on listeners. With “Tierra,” Jorge & Los Físicos manage to deliver a short project while displaying many of their influences. Starting the EP with “Nuevo Amanecer,” the trio touch on the subject of moving forward while rocking a nice acoustic guitar reminiscent of Latin Rock of the 1990s. Afterwards, we are provided “Mi Angel,” a love song inspired by classic blues giving a glimpse of how old school the band is willing to look for motivation. Closing the EP is “La Vida Buena,” a tune influenced by the work of Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers and 1990s Latin Rock that tells a story about enjoying nightlife partying. In short, “Tierra” is a fun and short EP that clearly displays Jorge & Los Físicos’ many influences while showing a lot of promise. In addition, this band is one that presents mainstream potential as the subject matter in their lyrics thus far is either inspiring, fun or love-related, themes that highly connect with large crowds.
