"No one in Panama is doing what we're doing." The awesome Central American metal duo named after a pastry who are breaking out of their country via big, fat riffs (just don't call them the new White Stripes)

AlphaWhores half submerged in water.

Massiel Pinzón and Juan Carlos García de Paredes are a rare kind of pairing. In most bands there’s a single dominant force, but in AlphaWhores there are two - both pushing, both hungry, both dead-set on carving out something bigger than their circumstances. Hailing from Panama, a country with a population half that of London and only one major metropolitan area, the odds were stacked against them from day one.

“We started this with our hands and legs tied behind our backs,” guitarist and vocalist Juan Carlos says. “We really had to hustle.”
