While Rey Pila’s songs may be written in English, the Mexican rock band’s roots guide both their unique sound and unwavering Latino spirit. In 2012, Rey Pila’s distinctive blend caught the attention of The Strokes’ frontman, Julian Casablancas. After hearing the song, “Alexander” playing down the hall from his office, Casablancas investigated the source of the music, eventually signing Rey Pila to his label, Cult Records. Although chance may have landed Rey Pila a record deal, the band’s success is not built on luck, but rather, years of perseverance.
