Currently we are in collaboration with Pidah (Motorpsycho, Ween, Beef, Barkmarket...) producing something. Guess what?

about garcia's world
Garcia was formed by Ed and Narcoat the beginning of 2005. The band, named Disdept at that time, started making music influenced by bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Deus, Helmet, Interpol, and the list goes on. Though the line-up was not yet very consistent, the band managed to put together a solid point of departure. First try out concert's at local venue's were well received.

After scrutinizing the streets of Utrecht, the line-up was finally completed and for the first time: coherent. A change of name marked the beginning of something new. Now Garcia was really getting into it: jamming like loose cannons and putting together rocking, sometimes psychedelic compositions. Garcia sounds like aforementioned bands and takes it a step further. Lately the band is experimenting with samples as well and keeps redefining its sound. There has to be a constant sound development. A growing number of fans seems to agree.

Ed sung in bands like New Improved God. Toured the Netherlands, Belgium and did a tour in Bosnia at the end of the war in Yugoslavia. He did some stand-in gigs with Frozen Sun and was on stage with the Awesome Dudes from Hell as supportact for Queens of the Stone Age.

Marco was playing with Ni Hao for several years, delivered 2 cd's and did a lot of gigs at Dutch and Italian venues. Ni Hao also played at the famous Dynamo Open Air festival.

Sureel used to play the drums in the Awesome Dudes from Hell and CHLEB. Played as a full time member of Orphanage. And meanwhile joined Spoiler.

Hanno did a lot session work in The Netherlands, England, and Brazil. After being involved with many different music styles, he has returned to the style that made him want to be a bass guitarist in the first place.
So if you're interested after listening to there music don't hesitate!”

recensie FRET mei
De eerste recensie Good = Evil Single is binnen en wel van de Aardschok niet verwacht toch gekregen. Check 'm uit of lees 'm hier. Garcia is een Nederlands bandje dat hoge ogen gooit in het genre stonerpop. Tenminste als alle muziek die de band maakt klinkt als hun eerste single Good = Evil. Een supercatchy song, lekker gezongen. Doet denken aan Monstermagnet Of Queens of the Stone Age en heeft het simpelweg helemaal . Vast binnenkort op de wat meer alternatieve zenders te horen. Die mogen we in onze zak steken. Dank aan Aardschok!

and Night-liveXS on Kink FM

Garcia is a Dutch band that fits well in the stoner pop genre. That is if more of their material sounds like their first single, “Good is evil”. A supercatchy song with amazing vocals. Evoking Monster Magnet or Queens of the stone age, awesome. Soon to be all over alternative radio.

Frank Helmink, Aardschok 4/6


This formation from Utrecht consists of four guys that previously played in many a Dutch outfit like Ni Hao, New Improved God and Orphanage. “Good is evil” is a winner as the first single, complete with catchy riff and hooky vocals. Referring to Faith no more, TOOL, Helmet, NIN and Queens of the stone age this is a no-brainer.

Martin Smeets, Plato Mania 2/6

The members of sturdy-rocking GARCIA have a diverse background. Where singer Ed (New Improved God), guitarist Marco (Ni-hao) and drummer Sureel (Orphanage) were rocking out in their previous outfits, bassist Hanno learned the tricks of the trade accompanying Dutch Pop stars. The one influence that does not show in GARCIA’S repertoire...
What the band does seem to draw from their palette are hints of NIN, Prong, with some Helmet on the side, served on a bed of Faith no more. First result of their efforts is the first single “Good is evil”.

National Pop Music Institute 2/6
