Hailing from Orange County in California, hard rock newcomers Costavina have been making an impact with their alternative blues sound wrapped in a gritty garage rock aesthetic. Featuring lead guitarist Dean, vocalist and rhythm guitarist Paul and drummer Sam, the band’s raw energy and modern rock vibe has seen them deliver a sonic offering that promises a thrilling journey ahead. First started by Paul and Dean, who both perform in other outfits, Dinner in America and Au Revoir Heart respectively, and now backed by Sam on drums, the group combines strong musical chemistry and cohesive creative vision to craft a sound that’s at once accessible and entirely their own.
Unveiling their sound to the world a year ago, last February they dropped their debut single “Your Way” which they followed up with their sophomore outing “Stuck In Days” in May. Their adventure gained momentum in October with the release of their breakout third single “It’s So Fun” which thrilled fans at live shows and raised the band’s profile online.
Now they’re back and bring us their latest release with their new single titled “Save Me,” the perfect snapshot of their evolving musical output. In under two and a half minutes, Costavina serves up a potent dose of raucous guitar-driven music packed full of gritty sound and pure rock energy.
Started off with the twang of guitar chords as whispered vocalisations lend an eerie vibe to the atmosphere, wah-drenched lead guitar wails above as the anticipation builds. A lively guitar riff begins to charge up an uptempo blues-inflected sound as the roll of drums injects rising intensity before the track erupts into a driving force capped by wah leads.
Paul’s vocals glide in with a restrained delivery, instilled with a subtle rock swagger to spin bouncy melodic leads as the instrumentation maintains the impactful energy throughout. Peppered by slick lead guitar flourishes, the arrangement shifts into a grooving mid section where pounding drums and staccato guitar riffs collide before launching into an epic crescendo to craft a sensational finale to this spectacular display of the Costavina sound.
