Mala Vista (translates to bad view or bad sight) formed in 2017 with Myke Miranda, Manny Dominguez, Erik LAMF and Ben Heyman, all sharing a love of the glory days of punk rock. Mala Vista stays true to the legendary bands like Eddie and The Hot Rods, The Zeros, The Kids, Ramones and Johnny Thunders.
Since forming, they’ve had a few releases, the most recent being their 2022 debut, Ruthless and Toothless, on No Front Teeth Records (UK). Receiving positive press, worldwide. They’ve also shared the stage for renowned bands like The Kids, Protex, and Terry Six of The Exploding Hearts.
The first single, In The Dark, from their sophomore release Fun Time, out in March 2022, draws influence from iconic punk bands while adding their own Mala Vista flair to it. In The Dark keeps it short, simple and catchy, you’ll be humming “waiting in the dark” after just one listen.
