Carlos Guzman and accordionist/organist Mike Berault, is getting ready to release its debut album 'Southland Hum' on May 3rd via Maplewood Records. 'Southland Hum' is now available for pre-order at MaplewoodRecords.com.

About LP3 & The Tragedy:
LP3 & The Tragedy joined forces a little over a year ago, but has a cowpunk past going back decades.
There are members sprouted from the Pan-American roots of Los Lobos and tweaked by the dark, swampy blues of The Gun Club.
There are members who have refined their chops in punk, ska and fun but inevitably tuned their attention toward the roots of it all.
United and propelled by a sense of family through blood, touring and DIY culture, LPIII and The Tragedy possesses a staggering combined mass of musical tastes, talent and muscle memory, but also has the excitement of a novice, vulnerability of a baby, and an unlimited potential to match.
A new band to breathe life into classic riffs, celebrate heartbreak as if it never happened before, and remind even the most jaded ears why rock 'n' roll will always matter. -
