On the heels of their smash hit "Nobody's Clown," Los Yesterdays’ return with "Who Made You You?" - whose dark feel coupled with singer Victor Benavides' bell-like timbre makes for a dichotomy of vibes that makes for a sinister groover that's sure to get heads bobbing at discerning Dj nights around the globe. Imagine Eddie Holman cutting a side for Fania and you're getting warm. On the other side of this future-classic you'll find quite possibly the best version of Richard Berry's classic "Louie Louie '' since the Kingsmen! Giving it the low and slow treatment, Los Yesterdays alters its DNA, creating a bonafide ballad banger poised to turn-on a whole new generation of folks to this R&B party fave.

Los Yesterdays originated in an Altadena garage when Gabriel Rowland teamed up with his old friend Victor Benavides. Rowland, a long time drummer and eccentric creator of multitudinous soulful things, took charge of recording as well as playing all the instruments, while Benavides wrote and cut vocals. The project pretty much stayed in their garage for a few years until a mutual connection brought them to the attention of Tom Brenneck and Gabe Roth, who both dug the songs and offered to join in on guitar and bass respectively so that the duo might be able to perform their music live. The four soon found a handful of gigs behind them and a Penrose recording date in front of them.
