Carmelita is a loser-core / power pop band influenced by guitar bands from the current international festival circuit such as Japandroids, Beach Slang, Soccer Mommy and Car Seat Headrest.

The band was born out of a folk duo made up of singer-songwriter Patrick Kilbride (Lead vocals and rhythm guitar) and Alex Garcia (Lead guitar) back in 2016. 

As a side project, Patrick started work on a demo tape which added a more garage-rock flavor to the acoustic songs the band had been working on. 

With this new-found sound, the band enlisted Ricardo Costa (Drums) and Bruno Motta (Bass), two Brazilian multi-instrumentalists, who fell in love with Patrick’s no frills, albeit somewhat naïve, style and the dry humor of the lyrics which tell tales of shame, regret, relationships, and the unnerving feeling that one might be getting a bit too old for this music thing.  

After six months of tightening the songs through rehearsals, acoustic showcases, and band battles, the group managed to make a few finals and eventually decided to rerecord the original garage rock demo in Brian Hunt’s ‘El Invernadero Studio’ in Madrid. 

With Paula Martín now on drums, the band's lineup is complete, as they look to launch their first EP and make a name for themselves in Madrid’s underground scene.

Originally from Miami and currently based out of Tenerife, Loor is releasing music every month in both English and Spanish. The many sides of Jacqueline Loor are coming out at once, and the world is better for it. Loor embodies her music’s themes of inner strength and self-discovery. She explains, “Writing music has always been so cathartic for me, and I hope my music can help people find their own strength. I want people to feel something when they listen to my music,” she says, “so much so that it moves them to actually do something that they may have been too scared to do, or to even admit. They’re going to come out of it stronger on the other side.”
