Indie pop rock quartet Ponte Pilas drops rocking single “San Ignacio,” the fourth single to be taken from their upcoming debut album Old Enough To Know Better. Filled with grungy guitar riffs that lend to a highly energetic vibe, the track pays ode to one of the band’s biggest musical heroes Iggy Pop.
Managing to balance a stripped back soundscape that gives way to explosive chorus, the track builds on dynamic vocals founded on an intricate weave of percussion and synth sounds, with awe-struck lyricism capturing the lasting legacy and influence of Iggy Pop on the world of popular music.
