Ohio-based rockersMOLLO RILLAhave revealed a new video for the single “Night Fang” from the band’s sophomore album,Viva El Camino, due out December 4 via Seeing Red Records.
“The song is a fictitious story about a band of troublesome misfits hunting down a mischievous werewolf,”explains vocalist/guitarist Marco Ciofani.“Once tracked down, the group discovers the werewolf is not what they imagined at all, and a raucous party ensues! Although entirely mythical and fabricated, the story teaches the age old lesson, ‘never judge a book by its cover’ and respect, celebrate and appreciate others differences and accept those for who (or in this case ‘what’) they are.”

Since MOLLO RILLA’s inception, the group’s core mission is one of musical freedom – and simply creating damn fine rock music. Together, the group effortlessly blends styles from Latin to rockabilly, surf to hip hop, and even Disco.MOLLO RILLA’s lyrical themes focus on feelings, thoughts and beliefs on freedom, fantasy, faith and, of course, love.
No stranger to the music industry, main lyricist and songwriter Ciofani was previously signed as a songwriter under Roundhill publishing in Nashville. For a year he co-wrote songs with artists all around the city, including former members ofCage the Elephant’s Lincoln Parish. Disenchanted with Nashville and writing music for others, Ciofani returned to his hometown of Cleveland to create something all his own, and in 2017 he found the perfect musicians to compliment his unique writing style. May 2019 saw the release ofMOLLO RILLA’s independent debut, followed by extensive touring that spring and summer. Another single, “Sangria,” was released in the fall of 2019 and received airplay on Cleveland’s iHeart Radio station, 100.7 WMMS. Based on the buzz surrounding their debut album,MOLLO RILLA was invited to share the stage with such luminaries asWeezer,HalestormandStatic Xat the 2020 Inkcarceration Festival, which ultimately was thwarted by COVID-19.
