“ The twin brothers behind The Del Zorros, a Wilmington rock duo that makes music in the vein of 60’s pop music, have put together a video for song they recorded last year. “Mrs. Santa Claus” praises someone we don’t hear as much about in holiday stories – Mrs. Claus. The resolute wife of old St. Nick always has his back and you may recall even offered to deliver the presents in “The Year Without Santa Claus.” Whether helping him watch his weight or getting enough sleep Mrs. Claus is often overlooked, except for maybe during SantaCon. Lance and Leigh Bowser, The Del Zorros, have composed a sweet sing-along tune that fits in nicely with countless other holiday tunes. They’ve recently put together a music video that features art by Leigh that recalls old school coloring books. According to the twins the song is being played on Christmas radio programs around the world.”

“Castle Hayne’s 50’s and 60’s inspired duo – The Del Zorros, have released a new single that’s appropriately timed for spring. The twins make music in a style that’s gentler, smartly melodic and unfortunately been lost as genres bend and falter. The Del Zorros aptly blend together, folk, pop and a bit of early rock and roll music. The song, “Younger Every Day,” is a continuation of the softly sung and romantic harmonies that was a big part of their last album, 2010’s “Good For You.” It bears an innocence that’s nostalgic without dwelling too much on such a thing. The song has a timeless theme, one that’s been covered by everyone from Walt Disney to Oasis. Nonetheless it’s a certified dance tune; compete with whistling and a hint of rockabilly. For fans of The Beach Boys, Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly. The song is available on iTunes, Bandcamp, and CD Baby. ”

““Good Company,” the Del Zorro's homey, tuneful new album, shows further signs of careful crafting, and even magic. “You can see all of our influences,” said Bowser, whose twin brother, Lance, completes the duo. (They perform as their alter egos, Stede and Monty Del Zorro.) Early Beatles are an obvious cue, but The Del Zorros also incorporate ‘60s folk (on the title track), romantic pop ballads (“Love and Kindness”) and even country music (“Somerset County”). Both brothers sing, but despite being twins, their voices are distinct while blending well. Lance's vocals tend to be more sensual, while Leigh's are more emotional (“Melvina's New Guitar”) or even comic (“Welcome Home”). Unfortunately, you won't see them playing live very often, but you can listen to and/or purchase “Good Company” at TheDelZorros.BandCamp.com. John Staton: 343-2343 On Twitter.com: @Statonator”

"We both write strong melodies," said Lance Bowser, his hand-held mic kicking back a little reverb as the musicians shared their thoughts about their recent collaboration. "I hear melody all the time," Leigh Bowser said. "I could write 100 melodies a day." Leigh typically writes the lyrics, though they share the copyright like Lennon and McCartney. "We’re interested in hits," Lance said. "Whatever we do is hit material." Out of more than 150 songs they have written together, they polished their top 10 at Castle Lake Recording Studio in Castle Hayne with audio recording engineer Bert Carlin. "We wanted 10 songs that would go together well," Lance said, "and none that were so monster hits that they’d take it all over." The first single to come off "Good Company," is "Back Streets of Liverpool," a tribute to the Beatles, one that allows the Del Zorro twins the full range of their DNA harmony. http://luminanews.com/article.asp?aid=7224&iid=245&sud=42 .

“THE DEL ZORROS Nov. 13 @ Bella’s... This one-of-a-kind Wilmington duo made up of twin brothers Monty and Stede Del Zorro has been back on the scene lately with an outstanding new album, “Good Company,” that filters old-school rock and folk through a sweet, nostalgic lens. Details: 6:30-8:30 p.m. Saturday, 19 Market St., downtown Wilmington.”

— John Staton, Star News Online

“Their new album Good Company is a love letter to the early sixties – acoustic driven music that’s filled with melody and character. Its crystallized sound, mixed with low slung vocals, recall that era of music when ‘California Dreamin’ was popular. In the middle of the album’s title track I almost expected to hear them sing the lyric “all the leaves are brown.” Songs here seem to either rest easy or jump up and down but equally shine. For all its sappy positivity ‘Love and Kindness’ really stands out as a song, bridging 1950’s crooning with early 1960’s swagger. ‘Man in the Moon’ is sweet, a Mexican flavored lullaby that lends a happily lost at sea quality. ‘Welcome Home’ strolls along, comprised of surf rock guitar and tinkering keys. It seems to embody the fun and philosophy of the duo – making music that’s fun and soothing." http://wae.blogs.starnewsonline.com/13381/the-del-zorros-album-review/ ”
