In Conversation with Onira

Lancaster based band Onira, fronted by UCI ’24 graduate Grecia Chavez, released their debut album “Plain to See” on June 6. Characterized by wobbling guitars in stereo, double-tracked vocals and a sense of frolic, the album was lauded by janglepophub as “a superb debut album from an act… with a maturity that is well beyond their musical years.”

Guitarist Alex Wenceslao, bassist Brandon Garcia and drummer Alberto Mata fill out the band, with the three also having had to balance going to college and working on top of doing music. All four Zoom-ed in to discuss the album and the personalities behind it.
