Texan rock band Giovannie and the Hired Guns have dropped their new single “Overrated” today.
The track, which can be heard below, stems from the band’s forthcoming studio album Tejano Punk Boyz, which will arrive on October 28 via Warner Music Nashville. This cut prominently features some tuba action courtesy of bassist Alex Trejo.
Vocalist Giovannie Yanez said this about the song, which is out on digital services right now:
“The song is about humility. No matter how successful (or lucky) you get, always remember your roots and don’t take any of it too seriously. Never give up on your dreams and try to make them real, but the journey is really the best part.
One of my dreams is to share my culture with the largest possible audience. We love playing this song live because the tuba is such a cool part of the song and people love it. It’s a way of saying ‘we all belong.’ I mean who doesn’t have a great time when a tuba is on stage!”
Pre-orders/pre-saves for Tejano Punk Boyz can be made here.
On October 7, the band will be back on the road with several dates in Texas and a pair of gigs performing with Brantley Gilbert & Jelly Roll. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are available to the general public here.
