Vortxz arrives in San Jose carrying the momentum of a Houston scene that is currently producing some of the most interesting guitar music in the country. Lead singer Isaias “Rambo” Rodarte and his bandmates specialize in a specific brand of bilingual indie rock that bridges the gap between the driving energy of post-punk and the melodic heart of Rock en Español. Their sound is built on chorus-heavy guitars and steady rhythms that feel tailored for a room like The Ritz. It is refreshing to see a group manage to stay grounded while their profile grows nationally. They bring a necessary, modern perspective to the alternative genre.
