Editor's review
Hailing from the same hometown as the Beach Boys (Hawthorne, Calif.) has definitely made an impression on dios. Like the brothers Wilson, dios, too, makes quintessential California music that's as whimsical as it is rich with complexities. It's a hazy indie-rock sound and plenty reverent of its surroundings.
Biography
dios come from Hawthrone, CA. The neighborhood is pretty run down now but a long time ago Brian Wilson and the rest of the Beach Boys lived there...so did Greg Ginn and Black Flag. The city has changed a lot since then.
Joel and Kevin Morales are the sons of a one time mariachi singer. The rest of the band, John Paul Caballero, James Cabez DeVaca, and Jackie Monzon, are friends from Hawthorne. They began recording their album about a year and a half ago in the basement of their bassist's (J.P. Cabellero) home. It is rumored that the funds for their self-titled album were raised by selling bootlegged copies of "Smile" on ebay.
That's about all we know. That, and that their debut record is great. It came out in Spring 2004.
