Southern California-based alternative rock band exPorter unleashes a powerful new single, “Southern Kingsnake,” delivering a searing blend of desert swagger and garage grit. Pulled from their upcoming EP, New Rubber Girlfriend, due to be released on August 15th via maxthedog Records, the track is a relentless burst of attitude and groove that cements the band’s place in the modern rock landscape.
Fronted by brothers Alec Cavazos (Guitar & Vocals) and Destin Cavazos (Bass & Vocals), exPorter has been lighting up stages since 2012. Officially formed in 2018, the band has performed with the likes of Hinds and Hearty Har, and has built a loyal following with a high-energy, hook-heavy sound influenced by bands like Blink-182, Green Day, Smoking Popes, and the Pixies.
“Southern Kingsnake” draws listeners into a sonic world of blues-soaked riffs, commanding vocals, and hypnotic rhythm. The track slithers with the raw charm of roadside dive bars and open highways, touching on themes of transformation and temptation. It’s a fierce preview of the upcoming record and a bold declaration from a band unafraid to evolve.
New Rubber Girlfriend showcases exPorter’s strongest songwriting to date, with nearly 100 original tracks in their vault and a solid discography that includes Bored (2019), Sort of Live at Jensens (2021), and NoBrakesNoBrakesNoBrakes (2022). This latest project is a definitive leap forward, packed with head-turning singles like “Letting Go,” “805,” “Mustash Sally,” and the breakout “Southern Kingsnake.”
