Armando Contreras – Guitar

Why We Make Music?We call ourselves Human Being for a reason. Our music hits every emotion—the highs, the lows, and all the messy in-between. We go from love, happiness, and good vibes to fear, abuse, and the darkest thoughts because that’s life. That’s being human.Music is our way of making sense of it all. Whether you need something to scream to, cry to, or just vibe with, we’re here for it.Our sound? All over the place—alt-rock, punk, indie, prog, even some love ballads—'cause humans don’t just feel one thing, right? We take it all in, and we pour it into what we play.At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. Feeling. Living. Being human.
Debut Album: Searching for SomethingOur first album, Searching for Something, is exactly what it sounds like—a search. Written and produced by Claire Wulf and Armando Contreras, this record was born before we even hit the stage. Released in the summer of 2024, it takes you through a wild mix of emotions—motherly love, the feeling of a pointless and boring life, curiosity, lies, avoidant attachment, and more.Musically, it pulls from grunge, punk, dream pop, rock ballads, and whatever else felt right in the moment. No rules, just pure emotion. From the first minute, this album is a trip—ups, downs, and everything in between.
No big words. Just noise and feeling.
“There she goes again” is the first of many.
This is us.
Something New is Coming...We’re working on something different. No name yet, no tracklist revealed—just a promise. This new album, dropping sometime in 2025, is a whole new vibe. A more mature sound, deeper emotions, and a mix of electronic elements with R&B influences.It’s still us, but evolved. Bigger, bolder, and ready to hit different.Stay tuned. You won’t see it coming.
⚡ Behind the Sound⚡
Jose Armando Contreras Méndez
Venezuelan by birth, musician by choice.
Started shredding at 15, now I’m here making noise.
Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Gorillaz, MF DOOM — they all shaped my sound.
It’s not just music, it’s life. And my guitar’s got something to say.
Santi Sanz
Santi, born on the 16th of April in the Palermo barrio of Buenos Aires.A melomaniac since young age, that grew up obsessed with the greats; Charly García, Serú Girán, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull. Inspired by them I started playing the drums, in order to take care of my excessive energy. Luckily, it made it worse.As a drummer, I am influenced from all over the musical genre spectrum: from Tool's Danny Carey and DT's Mike Portnoy, RHCP's Chad Smith, to Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd and Peter Erskine; and of course the great Pretty Purdie.
Olinto Rosales
Venezuelan, September 1, 2000.
Bass is my instrument, but rhythm is my language.
John Deacon, Colin Greenwood, Chris Wolstenholme — they made me pick up the bass.
I live to make those low-end frequencies hit hard.
