Space Corolla is a Puerto Rico based math rock trio with a clear influence in punk. The band consists of lead vocalist / guitarist Johan Rivera, drummer Pablo Prieto and bassist Hector Flores.

While bands like The Fall of Troy, Tera Melos, The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Protest Hero is what got them into playing “technical” music, their music is seen to be heavily influenced by punk rock / pop punk / 2000’s emo bands such as Green Day, Lagwagon, NOFX, A Wilhelm Scream, Descendents etc. Through the trio’s unique blend of influences, they have since found their own intricate and signature sound.

In 2017, Puerto Rico was hit by hurricane Maria. On March 10, 2018, the trio released their debut EP Never Happy. On May 18, 2020, the trio decided to release another EP (Cordales) with the 3 Spanish songs they had lying around. Because 3 didn’t seem like a lot of songs, they decided to record a math rock-ish cover of a Latin pop song called “Lento” by Julieta Venegas. “Cordales” means wisdom teeth, because it was a painful time post hurricane Maria. When the pandemic hit in 2020, the trio recorded a few singles just to feel more productive.

Space Corolla has since released 3 singles, “Quit Your Day Job” (2019), “El Vocero” (2020) and “Wallsaround” (2022). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
