Formed in Buenos Aires by Inés Adam and Martina Nintzel, Pacifica have been on a fast, furious risesince transforming their bedroom YouTube covers into a fully-fledged global phenomenon. Blending thegritty immediacy of early-2000s garage rock with the swagger of post-punk and the emotional punch of‘90s alt, the duo have built a devoted following and a reputation for blistering live shows that channel friendship, chaos, and catharsis in equal measure.
Now, Pacifica return with their highly anticipated sophomore album In Your Face, out now via TAG / TheOrchard. The record marks a new era for the Buenos Aires-born duo — one that captures their trademark mix of vulnerability and rebellion with more bite, confidence, and self-awareness than ever before.
“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 aboutcause and consequence. Accepting fate and flaws, realizing some things really are the other person’sfault, 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.”
The album’s focus track, “Indie Boyz,” is a riff-heavy, tongue-in-cheek ode to late-night indie sleaze — allsweat, irony, and hazy dance floor nostalgia. The band note that it’s “not to be taken too seriously — just a description of a week of going out almost every night. No poetry, just vibes.” “Indie Boyz” is also a nod toa trendy club in LA called Tenants of the Trees.
Other highlights include “Fixer Upper”, a biting reflection on toxic relationships and performative self-destruction, “Just No Fun,” an irresistible, chaotic anthem about knowing you’re self-sabotaging —and doing it anyway, and “What You Doing,” a sharp, emotional spiral set to driving guitars and sardonic wit.
Since releasing their debut LP Freak Scene in 2023 and its acoustic counter part Freak Scene: NAKSessions in 2024, Pacifica have played sold-out shows across North America, Europe, and South America, and shared stages with Franz Ferdinand, St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, and Måneskin. Their global following now exceeds 880K+ across platforms, with 25M+ streams and millions of viral moments on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
The release of In Your Face kicks off a packed run of international shows. Pacifica will support BaluBrigada on their North American tour this October and November, before returning home for two headline shows in Argentina and two sold-out nights in Tokyo this December, followed by a UK/EU tour and globalfestival run in 2026.
