Biography
AJ Davila first earned recognition playing bass and handling lead vocals for the Puerto Rican garage rock outfit Davila 666. He launched his solo career in 2014 by issuing the tough, rollicking, and stylistically expansive Terror Amor. After Davila 666 completed extensive international touring behind its 2011 release Tan Bajo, the band entered a period of inactivity, prompting Davila to launch his own project in October 2012. He tracked the bulk of the songs at home, the same space where numerous Davila 666 recordings had already taken shape, and used the sessions to move beyond basic garage punk toward material shaped by classic R&B, girl-group aesthetics, current pop, and vintage glam rock. The album brought in guest appearances from Cole Alexander of the Black Lips, Sergio Rotman of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Alex Anwandter of Teleradio Donoso, Fofé Abreu of Circo, and Davila 666’s own Johnny Otis Davila; Nacional Records put Terror Amor out in February 2014. Later that year Burger Records issued the follow-up, Beibi.
