SAN ROMAN, the solo music project of multi-disciplinary artist Alexa San Román, has released a cover of “Get Free” by The Vines. Featuring Cunio of Brass Against and Jacob Umansky of Intervals on bass, the track can be heard now below.
Speaking on the cover, Alexa says, “This song played a huge role in my teenage years, it was one of the first songs I learned on guitar and rocked out in my bedroom too. After seeing Company XIV in Bushwick in 2018 and hearing Cunio sing, I was blown away.Over the years we became friends and I had this idea of getting a bunch of talented musicians together to record a cover for fun. I asked Jacob Umansky, an incredible bassist in the band Intervals, if he’d be down to track bass on this cover and he was in! My close friend and original drummer of my first band Love, Robot, Brando Hom tracked the drums in the studio and then the talented Chris Peters performed it in the video.Recording this cover with so many incredible musicians and close friends was such an incredible and fun experience, we all just wanted to make something with no pressure where we could all do what we do best-rock out!”
Late last year, SAN ROMAN shared her debut album, MESSY. This record is a culmination of years of musical experience and a fresh start for Alexa. Taking inspiration from events in her life, citing loss and the pain of watching time pass, MESSY is a diary entry put on play, loud. With titles like “Anxiety Cry Night,” “Everybody’s Dying” and hooks that suit both an angst filled teenage crowd and a quiet late night drive, the record signals the arrival of an artist that is finally ready to stand alone.
