CD REVIEWS
Review by Travis Parno of https://www.tradebit.com
A seven track EP infused with fast-paced drums, power chords, and lyrical simplicity, Rice, Beans, and Rock ‘N Roll affords the listener the opportunity to truly turn it up and tune out. The self-described “Spanglish punk” band offers peppy rock that keeps the head nodding and toe tapping with a seamless mixture of Spanish and English lyrics. For such a quick release (clocking in at just over twenty minutes), the EP showcases nice variety from the speed punk of the album opener “Wannabe”, to the devilishly cool “Stripper”, to the aggression of the sure-to-be-fan-favorite “Motherfucker.” There’s a familiarity here that is complemented well by the Southern Californian Spanish influence, much like relaxing in a well-worn Lay-Z Boy while watching Telemundo.
There is, however, a comfort zone from which No Way Jose does not deviate, so don’t visit the buffet line expecting to be knocked out by some succulent new dish. The uncomplicated lyrics certainly don’t get in the way of the congenial punk sound, and lines like “Vive tu vida, vive tu vida / Don’t worry, toda va estar bien (‘Live your life, live your life / Don’t worry, everything will be ok’)” propel the good-natured attitude. There are a few high notes that singer Jose Morales can’t quite grasp, but overall, the musicianship is up to par with similar verse-chorus-verse-chorus punk acts.
It’s that time of the year, and while No Way Jose aren’t re-writing the rule book, Rice, Beans, and Rock ‘N Roll is an entertaining summer soundtrack that can also warm the heart in the cold of winter.

Review by Amalia Renteria April 22nd, 2007
It took a while for No Way Jose to get this album in the mail, but all things set aside this album is actually good. No Way Jose, hailing from Southern California is comprised of three members who create a sound of “Spanglish Punk”. They have created a 7-song disc entirely new and different to me, but yet their sound is still familiar to some of the bands I listen to.
A little while ago, I had wanted to start listening to some “Spanglish Punk” bands but just never got around to it until now and I’m glad that they are the one to introduce me to this style of music. One of my favorite songs from “Rice, Beans and Rock ‘N Roll” is Motherfucker. Yeah I know, the title may seem a little bit harsh, but don’t judge a song by its title. The song just has the “yeah, ok, whatever, leave me alone” type of vibe, not only that but you can hear their Spanish influence in it. I can see people hearing this song and singing along to it proudly in the privacy of their own space. In their album, you can also tell these seven songs represent them and the pride they get in creating their style of music with making no compromises and following no one voices but their own. With songs like “Stripper”, which has a Spanglish version, “Wanna Be” and “Martha” you get to hear their own mix of Southern California punk and Tex-Mex. While listening to this CD in my Ipod I often create a playlist so I can listen to their CD with one of Catch 22 CDs, just to give you a perspective on how they sound. Oh, and they were selected to play on last years Hot Topic Kevin Says stage at Vans Warped Tour so you know they have to be good. - https://www.tradebit.com
