Hanging On to Something

Older, wiser Pistoleros are no longer defined by rock 'n' roll, but they're still committed to it

Then there is the Zubia brothers' Mexican-American heritage, which, from the viewpoint of a record company, swings well with the country's current appetite for all things Latino.

As a songwriting duo, the Zubias have carved themselves a niche. Whether it will ever pay off is anyone's guess. "Niche just means that we won't be successful," laughs Mark.

"My brother and I are not pop songwriters in your normal sense of the word. I mean, we have pop leanings, but I don't think we are going to write you a song that has all these blatant pop hooks."
