Sabrosa Purr is a genre-defying rock band from Los Angeles, California, comprised of members Will Love, Jeff Mendel and Angie Mattson. They released their self-produced début EP, “Music from the Violet Room” on Dangerbird Records (Silversun Pickups) to critical raves in 2006, finding themselves in the Top Ten Albums of many tastemakers’ lists, including that of Bagel Radio, CMJ’s Speciality Music Director of the Year. Their new E.P. “Volaras” will be released on June 30th 2009; it was produced by Tracy Chisholm (Stone Temple Pilots, Belly, Scott Weiland, Devics). They’re also a featured artist on Downtown Records’ RCRDLBL.com.
Starting in a dark, musty rehearsal room/den of thieves on Santa Monica Blvd they’ve gone on to release an E.P. on Dangerbird Records, home to Silversun Pickups. They’ve opened for 30 Seconds to Mars on their tour supporting “A Beautiful Lie”, played New York’s Fashion Week, CMJ’s New Music Marathon, SXSW and toured Japan.
Not a bad start at all, but stay tuned, there’s so much more to come.

Fazer Magazine review:
A moment of clarity has occurred and a life-changing discovery has been made. No you haven’t just come down from a psychedelic trip, but you might as well have after spinning Sabrosa Purr’s new EP Volaras.
Produced by Tracy Chisholm (Devics, Scott Weiland, Belly), Volaras takes the listener on a journey right from the get go; building up all the way until it comes crashing down. Weather you’re listening to its trippy, peaceful Pink Floyd/Mars Volta-esk tracks “My Dirty Hands” and “One Weak Moment”, or just simply taking in the unique blend of grunge meets ambiance that is “Hope I’m Not An Idiot”, you’re in for some interesting moments of enlightenment that will easily leave you wanting more.
Sabrosa Purr is as fascinating and genre defying as it comes. With the release of Volaras, the four-piece group from Los Angeles, California, has left listeners with high expectations for their upcoming, debut full-length release this fall. But if this is a sign of things to come, worry should be erased, because you’re in for a good trip; you just need to be keen on going with it. - Mark Millard

The Deli Magazine Review:
Thank the Los Angelinos gods for precious, little diamonds like Sabrosa Purr. Bands like this don't come by the dozen in this desert, and I have nothing but good things to say about their latest genre-defying release "To The Crickets and The Ghosts". Drawing inspiration from the likes of PJ Harvey, The Smashing Pumpkins and Pink Floyd, it's hard to pinpoint their exact sound (which, as in "My Song For The Girls", can leap from a low, quietly hypnotic guitar line [think "No Surprises" by Radiohead] to the astronomical heights of a heavily fuzz-driven, scream singing tag [think MBV style Chorus with something like Bixler-Zavala-esque vocals in a few blinks of an eye], but whatever it is that they're mixing together in their rehearsal time , it slides down wonderfully and leaves me slamming my glass down on the bar and asking for another. I'm sure more than a handful of bands in the greater L.A. area can claim the previously mentioned groups as influences, but the way these musical scientists tastefully formulate their concoctions makes it fresh, dreamy, and definitely worth my time.- Alex Valles

The LA Weekly Review: "Addicted To Love"
Yes, there are still amateur Angeleno bands building robust reps through self-financed recordings and compelling club shows (and without monkeying themselves out to reality TV). Sabrosa Purr are an odd collision of loner, stoner introversion and crotch-thrusting fuzz-box rawk. They lurch from the ultra-ethereal, flotation-tank vocals and slithery, succulent guitars of "Suckerpunch Kiss" to the open-shirted glam strut of "Fashion Kills" without so much as an explanation or apology. Though probably more convincing at the former than the latter, they seldom sound contrived. Yet for every moment of earnest Pink Floyd-ish psychedelia, each hint of enigmatic early Cure b-sides or sexy T-Rex flexes, Sabrosa Purr are really all about the original Jane's Addiction -- they're eclectic because Jane's were. The heavily delayed yelps of "Killing the Aries" and "Sabrosa Purr, Pt. 1"'s druggy whimper are downright Jane's addicted, but they're lost in enough love to forget and forgive. Few bands traverse heel-stomping, classic-rock crunch and eyes-clenched, headphone bliss like this."- Paul Rogers, LA Weekly

"The three-piece has been turning heads with their daring dichotomy of high-octane rock and ambient soundscapes. Vocalist/guitarist Will Love has the uncanny ability to evoke PJ Harvey and Kurt Cobain, sometimes even in the same song as he goes from a guttural howl to a hushed croon. Critics have compared their sound to the Smashing Pumpkins, Janes Addiction and Pink Floyd while trend setting radio stations such as Seattle's KEXP and Los Angeles' Indie 103.1 have showed their support early on by playing several tracks off their EP."- Filter-Mag.com

"Sabrosa Purr are the most mystifying, bizarre, and intriguing band you’ll hear for a long while. They can swing from tender folk to bombastic metal at the drop of a hat, and it never seems forced or contrived. The simple answer is that this is a band that loves music, and loves so much of it that they can’t be bothered to choose just one style. How rebellious, how bold."-Emily Tartanella OneTimesOne.com
