Establishing the mood with a shimmering piano riff, expanding into a vibrant rock and roll energy, GAZ open Let It Roll with notions of timelessness and uplifting lyricism, and boundless energy reminiscent of the 1960s.

We connect with the instrumental mastery that manifests and the track’s honky-tonk piano, which flourishes with vibrant brass and epic guitar performances, creating a playful energy that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Josep Antoni Lopez’s vocal performance is delivered with conviction, perfectly aligned with the song’s upbeat momentum. The Barcelona-based band leans into classic rock influences, weaving bluesy licks with propulsive rhythm. Power-pop harmonies lift the chorus, giving the track an anthemic and cinematic quality – perfect for a movie set during that era – exuberantly conjuring images of summer drives, crowded bars, and open-road freedom.

The saxophone solo in the middle injects a classic-rock energy which is also reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. Jordi Perdigo’s guitar riffs sparkle with personality, whilst Albert Perdigo’s drum work brings to life relentless enthusiasm.

The band’s 20-year journey is evident with their masterful instrumentation and fusion of playful storytelling. Fans of The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, will also be able to connect with GAZ, but there is no doubt that they are also manifesting a fantastical retro universe of their own.

We have added Let It Roll to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream GAZ‘s wider discography, including More Than A Shooting Star, and I’m Against It.

Setting the tone with retro, electric guitar riffs, GAZ open Happy Girl with intricacy and a playful edge. The opus expands into a vibrant, classic rock energy filled with poetic nuance and a charismatic delivery.

Based in Barcelona, GAZ channel a youthful energy on the charming rock tune, which we learn is based on a true story! Comprised of Josep on lead vocals and bass, Jordi on lead guitar and background vocals and Albert on drums, the band take us on a romantic adventure and introduce us to the pink trouser-wearing muse of the composition, and the hopes of a connection.

The trio cite influences including The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who, The Beatles, CCR, ZZ Top, T-Rex and Led Zeppelin, although it is clear that they are creating a universe of their own.

We appreciate the nostaligic edge and futuristic lens that GAZ have created with Happy Girl, and we love the personification of the alluring protagonist.

The origins of GAZ began 20 years ago in the city of Barcelona. Ignited by a passion for music, three friends set out on a journey to create music that lifts the spirit and entertains the crowds. By the sound of the guitar solo on Happy Girl, we can imagine that a live show with GAZ would be out of this world!

We have added Happy Girl to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of GAZ including I’m Against It and I Feel Good Indeed.
