Giovannie & The Hired Guns have unveiled their new single “Ramon Ayala.”

For its accompanying music video, the Texan band wanted to do something reminiscent of TRL music videos from the ‘90s. Giovannie Yanez said this about the new track/video:

“The single was a way of me being able to bring my culture and let it be known, as well as making it relatable. Ramon Ayala is a very respected artist from Mexico that I’ve heard my grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, dad, mom, you get the point, jamming to him, sometimes until the long hours of the night. When I say ‘I still bump Ramon Ayala when I get drunk!,’ it’s because I do and I know a lot of other people do as well.”

The music video was an idea I had in my head for a long time and the director Tim Cofield brought it all to life. I wanted a ‘Hot For The Teacher’ meets ‘Smokin In The Boys Room’ with a little modern twist, and it really shows off the band’s personalities. From jamming Metallica, Deftones, System Of A Down, Ramon Ayala, SPM, Los Tucanes, RRB, I could go on and on - our magic is that each player can be themselves and be true to themselves. We are all a bunch of dudes that grew up listening to the same music but we come from different walks of life, and that’s Giovannie And The Hired Guns.”

“Ramon Ayala” is out on digital services right now. Giovannie and The Hired Guns will be playing several shows this summer with performances at Peacemaker Festival and Gun Barrel City July Fest this week.
