You Can Come Out Now was produced by London, UK-based double-Grammy Award winner Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse), who travelled to the band’s home country, Panama, to record it. It was mixed by US based Evan Rodaniche. Evan also mixed their debut album I (“one”) and the single Over and Over, which is a cover of the Hot Chip classic re-created in AlphaWhores’ brooding signature style.
Hailing from Panama, AlphaWhores are Massiel Pinzón and Juan Carlos García de Paredes and have been working together for over 20 years when they were both members of the Panama based alternative rock band Mabí.
In 2021, following the end of longstanding personal relationships for them both, Massiel and Juan Carlos found themselves in the studio together jamming and making new music, as a way to help them process the changes happening in their lives.
The studio sessions were so successful that they decided to make it into a new music project and AlphaWhores was born. Their debut album I (‘one”) was released in January 2024, which features the singles ‘Raw Nerve’ and ‘Same Team’.
With limited promotion, their debut album spread organically via word of mouth in the rock, metal and stoner communities worldwide and led to AlphaWhores doing their debut headline European Tour in February and March 2025, with 17 shows across Germany, Austria, Denmark and the UK.
On the band’s name, Massiel and Juan Carlos say, “Our name is a play on words from the Spanish word alfajores, which are pastries very common in South America. It’s just a joke for whoever gets it, and some people have lol. Not trying to be edgy or off-putting, rather just silly.
Alfajores are a traditional South American dessert made up of two cookies with a sweet filling in between. The cookies are usually soft and shortbread, and the filling is often dulce de leche, also known as manjar. Alfajores can be eaten as a snack or dessert, and are often enjoyed with family and friends.”
AlphaWhores return to Europe for their second headline tour in March 2026 and do their first headline dates in the UK in May. They go to Brazil in June for their first live dates there.
