The meteoric rise of Pacifica has been nothing short of a sonic explosion. Formed in Buenos Aires by the high energy yet nonchalant powerhouse duo Inés Adam and Martina Nintzel, the group transformed humble bedroom YouTube covers into a global phenomenon, winning over fans with their electrifying blend of early-2000s garage rock grit, post-punk swagger, and ’90s alt-rock emotional punch. Their reputation for blistering live shows—a channeling of friendship, chaos, and catharsis—is the stuff of legend.
Now, Pacifica is back, sharper and bolder than ever, with their highly anticipated sophomore album, In Your Face, out now via TAG / The Orchard.
The new record marks a distinct evolution for Adam and Nintzel, capturing their trademark mix of vulnerability and rebellion with increased bite, confidence, and self-awareness.
“In Your Face is an introspective journey that brushes through themes of heartbreak, betrayal, lust, spite, immaturity, and regret — all with a pinch of humor and light-heartedness,” the band explains. “It’s about cause and consequence. Accepting fate and flaws, realizing some things really are the other person’s fault, falling in love and wanting to jump off a building for someone, learning to be patient, and just living through it — Tokyo streets, Maseratis, vibes.”
This ethos translates into a collection of tracks that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Focus Track: The Hazy Nostalgia of “Indie Boyz”
Leading the charge is the album’s focus single, “Indie Boyz.” It’s a riff-heavy, tongue-in-cheek ode to late-night indie sleaze—a whirlwind of sweat, irony, and hazy dancefloor nostalgia. The band keeps it simple: it’s “not to be taken too seriously — just a description of a week of going out almost every night. No poetry, just vibes.” The track also features a clever nod to the trendy LA club, Tenants of the Trees.
Beyond the focus single, the album is packed with highlights:
- “Fixer Upper” offers a biting reflection on toxic relationships and performative self-destruction.
- “Just No Fun” is an irresistible, chaotic anthem about knowingly self-sabotaging—and diving headfirst into it anyway.
- “What You Doing” provides a sharp, emotional spiral set to driving guitars and sardonic wit.
Since the release of their debut LP Freak Scene in 2023 and its acoustic counterpart Freak Scene: NAK Sessions in 2024, Pacifica’s career trajectory has been vertical. They’ve played sold-out shows across North America, Europe, and South America, and shared stages with rock royalty like Franz Ferdinand, St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, and Måneskin. Their global following now exceeds 880K+ across platforms, with 25M+ streams and millions of viral moments proving their digital dominance.
The Tour Kicks Off Now
The release of In Your Face isn’t just an album drop—it’s the firing pistol for a packed international schedule. Pacifica is currently supporting Balu Brigada on their North American tour throughout October and November. Following that, the duo heads home for two headline shows in Argentina and two sold-out nights in Tokyo this December, before embarking on an extensive UK/EU tour and a global festival run in 2026.
Pacifica is no longer just a rising act; they are a force of nature. With In Your Face, Inés Adam and Martina Nintzel have delivered their most confident statement yet, solidifying their status as one of rock’s most essential new voices. Catch them on the road—the party is well and truly on.
