What band did you discover in 2025 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
The band I discovered this year was Sex Mex from San Antonio, Texas. What impressed me the most is that it’s just one person creating some of the catchiest power-pop anthems around, it was
like love at first listen. I hope to catch them live soon so I can sing along and shake my tail featherto their awesome music.
How will you remember 2025 (in terms of music)?
I’ll remember 2025 as a milestone year for us (DFMK), releasing our second full-length album through Alternative Tentacles and playing some really cool shows. It was also a year of discovering and enjoying tons of independent bands and their new releases.
What can we look forward to from you in 2026?
We hope to play more shows and releasing more new music.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2026?
Right now, I honestly don’t know what to expect from the records coming out in 2026, but I’m excited to be surprised. I’d love to have my mind blown by anything emerging from the Tijuana, MX or San Diego, USA scenes in particular.
Singles rule the music scene right now. How has that affected you as a band or label? Has it influenced your approach to new releases or touring?
Singles are great for rolling out a new album, they give people a small taste of a bigger pie but, for us, the end goal is always the full release. I know today’s listeners have a shorter attention spans,
but I still love sitting down and listen to a full album. That should always be the main focus.
