The Earth Angels are a Spanish doo-wop vocal group formed in Catalonia. Their members come from its capital, Barcelona and they carry out live a cappella performances following the traditional way of performing this genre, by singing on the streets and places of the cities they visit.
They became a band in 2007, when Christian Carrasco (son of Rafael Carrasco, the second drummer of the Spanish band Los Sírex) a Bass-baritone, announced in a web page that he was looking for a singer of doo wop and he found Jordi Majó, the main vocalist. Since then, they carried out live performances based in the tradition as well as in radio and television stations in Barcelona and the Balearic Islands. Afterwards, Joan Carrasco, brother of Christian, joined the band, both influenced in this music style by their father during their infancy and they recorded their first version of the track Step by Step of the band The Crests.
In 2008, they starred a television ad for the Vodafone telecommunications company.
In 2009, they participated in a compilation of greatest doo wop hits with the most famous groups of the street corner style at present time, performing the theme In Your Company, album that was released by Crystal Ball Records in October of this same year. In the middle of 2010, Pol Daurella, one of the vocalists of the Taller de Músics de Barcelona, joined them for the rehearsals and with whom they prepared the release of their second studio album before becoming an official member.
Their speciality consists in performing covers of song themes considered as rarities of this genre, initially recorded between 1958 and 1964, but they also compose their own melodies, so they have been sponsored by the Rare Rocking Records musical company. Also, they released a musical video directed by David Conill and Christina Scheper, in where they perform a cover of the song This is the night for love, first published by the vocal band The Valiants in 1958.
In 2010, with the release of their first commercial job, a compact disc with 15 covers and two themes of their own Street Corner Style, they became the Today's Doo Wop Masters Series premier band. At the same time, Kingsley Abbot an expert journalist in writing books of the music of the sixties, gave them four stars in the review she made about them at the musical page Record Collector, stating the following:
