Summer 2026

Hello, Music Enthusiasts, 

Welcome to another edition of The Gringos newsletter. We have plenty of ground to cover, so let us start with what has been happening in the studio.

New Single: Life Is More Than Time

As we march toward the official beginning of summer, the band has a brand new single ready for release titled Life Is More Than Time. Originally inspired by our late bass player, Steve Jones, every member of the group pitched in to produce a track that is completely unique and cutting edge.

For those who have followed our journey and heard our music over the decades, you know that The Gringos are capable of moving across many musical genres. Because our songwriting catalog is so vast, conventional recording methods would require an immense amount of time and immense financial resources to capture every track. To ensure these song ideas were never lost, we always maintained original demos of our material.

We want to be entirely transparent with our audience about how we are bringing these vault tracks to light. While Life Is More Than Time was fully written by the band, we utilized advanced production technology to facilitate the musical performances and arrangements. In the modern industry, these are known as Hybrid recordings. The core foundation, the lyrics, and the musical architecture belong entirely to the members of the band; the technology simply allows us to achieve a stunning, high fidelity studio recording that brings our original compositions to their fullest potential.

Scoring and Synchronization Success

Today, the global music landscape is largely guided by automated platform discovery, which is how many of you were first directed to our music. By pairing strategic digital promotion with advanced production platforms, the band finally has a definitive path to complete the several hundred songs currently resting in our catalog. Because every single member of the band writes music, we possess an unlimited supply of content. Our deep arrangement style means we are fully equipped to produce comprehensive scores for feature films or cable television networks.

Securing placement on the screen is familiar territory for us. In fact, several songs from our debut album have appeared in prominent cable television series, including The Americans, Get Shorty, and Law and Order: Organized Crime. Additionally, one of our original tracks was featured in the Lionsgate film Joshy.
 

The Rock Opera: Murder From Within

We are also continuing our work on our massive upcoming project, a definitive Rock Opera titled Murder From Within. This concept follows the historical book written by our trumpet player Tyler Newcomb’s father, Fred Newcomb, and his partner Perry Adams. The narrative deals directly with the complex forensic evidence surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. With the assistance of modern studio tools, we are moving steadily through the production tracking and aim to have the entire project completely wrapped up by the end of the year.
 

Thank You

As always, we are deeply grateful for your support. Having an engaged audience makes the work we put into these tracks that much more satisfying. We are continually humbled by the overwhelming response to our music, and we will keep rolling out new material that we hope you will love and share with your friends.

Have a safe summer and keep on Rockin…

With kindest regards,

​
