La Chinga are a hard rock band that have tapped into that classic hard rock sound that dates back to the seventies but also inspired bands of the eighties. Think of the final couple of years of AC/DC with Bon Scott or the likes of Faster Pussy Cat and Dangerous Toys but without the glam and sleaze. La Chinga are more the boys in cowboy boots, sunglasses and a bottle of whisky, racing a Dodge Challenger down the highway, rolling the dice, and having an arm around some sexy woman in tight cutoff denim shorts with a switchblade hidden somewhere.

The title of their second album, "Freewheelin'" says a lot, the album cover says more, and the back cover with the license plate that reads "GET SUM" while a pair of female legs wave out the window and the drummer salutes us from the back window with a middle finger just about sums it up. This band is snake boots, gypsies, black magic, "Stoned Grease White Lightnin'". That should give you an idea of what to expect here. Unapologetic sass and ready for another glass, La Chinga are the hard rock band your mom didn't want your older sister to know about but the younger sister got away with it.

Listening to this album, you might think this band have got their bases covered and they know what they're about and how to deliver it. But I know a little secret, and that is that their third album is even better. It's so good in fact that I had to get the second one just to be sure of the course these dudes were plotting.
