Check out this Summer-feeling tune by four Chicago brothers known as The Avantist. These guys are friends with Está Vivo, aka Ryan McMahon, who I posted a track from a while ago.

The Avantist describe themselves as "descendants of mariachi" who decided to make some music together and in 2008 formed a band. "Nomad", their new single, have much of a mariachi influence to me, but if you listen to some of their tracks off the Pantoja EP, you can hear a little more of that. You'll also notice that they have settled down and come off the heavy drums and guitar a little bit. They seem to have refined their sound further on "Nomad", and will continue to do so as they play together, I'm sure.

The track has a good feeling to it and I think you should take a listen and see what you think! Its available for free download, along with a remix of "Nomad" by Está Vivo, which is smooth and a little softer on the ear - its got a very different energy.
