By Si Staff

Espira
Members
: Noe, Daniel, Ram and Roland
Homebase: San Antonio, Texas
Origins: "We originally came from a band called Broken Down. We've been playing together for almost five years," say the members of Espira. "Broken Down fell through but we started Espira with a whole new feel of music-Latin alternative rock versus a new metal kind of stuff."
Quit Your Day Jobs: "We got bills to pay so we all got jobs," say the members of Espira. "Then again our band is also our business so we all invest time and money into it."
"When we are bona fide rock stars [our] message will be heard across the world," say the members of Espira.

Delirio
Members: Edgar Escobedo along with brothers Albert, Marco and Juan Diego Lopez
Homebase: Southern California and Las Vegas, Nevada
Origins: "We met when I first moved from Mexico up to California," says Escobedo. "We were about 10-years-old when we met at the elementary school we [attended]. [Then] in our last year of high school we got together in an elective guitar class and that's [when] we decided to start the group."
Quit Your Day Jobs: "We go to school and work," says Escobedo. "But we concentrate on our music because we own an independent record label. It's called Gold Flame Records. We released our albums under our own label."
"When Delirio are bona fide rock stars we're going to rock the world," says Escobedo.

Liberal
Members: Brothers Azael, Edgar and Uriel Zamora
Homebase: San Antonio, Texas
Origins: "In the very beginning I wanted to create a band within my family," says Azael. "So I just asked my brothers to pick an instrument and we'll go with it. One of my brothers picked the drums, the other the guitar and I play the guitar and also sing."
Quit Your Day Jobs: "My brother is a bartender and my other brother is a medical assistant," says Azael. "I work for UPS and FedEx. I'm the shipping receiver."
"When Liberal are bona fide rock stars we'll do something that impacts the music community and open the doors to something new," says Azael.

Cuervo
Members
: Ahmad Khatib, Diego Fernandez, Elton Salazar, and Victor Montemayor
Homebase: Houston, Texas.
Origins: "Well, I just joined the group about three years ago," says Montemayor. "I met them through a friend and they called me up one day saying they needed a drummer and asked me if I wanted to join. But the two main guys that started the band were Ahmad and Elton."
Quit Your Day Jobs: "I am an AutoCAD drafter," says Montemayor. "I work for an engineering company here in Houston. Adam also does the same thing, he is an AutoCAD drafter. Diego has more of a freelance job; he works at a recording studio he sets up the sound for shows and stuff like that. Elton right now is working out of town; he works in Washington at the refineries."
"When Cuervo are bona fide rock stars we're going to keep making new music," says Montemayor.

Low Luster League
Members
: Hapa Martinez, Latus Murillo and Oakie Granados
Homebase: El Paso, Texas
Origins: "[We were] best friends since high school," say the members of Low Luster League. "Hapa was in bands, forming and deforming them. We officially launched LLL in 2006."
Quit Your Day Jobs: "Hapa is a full-time musician; Latus is an elementary school physical education coach and Oakie is a full-time musician.
"When we are bona fide rock stars we're going to be grateful, stay humble and true," say the members of Low Luster League.
