The Tarpaulins EMERGENCY KISSES... indie rock with a touch of 80 s influence emerges from the East Los Angeles CA... The Tarpaulins new release EMERGENCY KISSES inspires listeners with indelible lyrics & vocals, cinematic riffs and an epic sounds. Vocalist, writer and composer Omar Fuentes Novela has a very direct way of putting things together. As a guitar player, singer and song writter, he has his hands full. Yet he never backs down from a new tune or new style. Omar is the Tarpaulins" fearless leader. Brother of Omar, Sam Fuentes Novela hardly has it easy with his Keyboard, guitar and bass switches. Sam is constantly looking for ways to place subliminal notes into the music. Jorge Lopez plays drums into the guitar by force. Anytime he hears an opening for a chance to split the seams of the tunes, he takes it.
