Don Giovanni has announced the addition of Choked Up to its roster.

The label kicks off the signing by rereleasing their debut, Dichoso Corazo, on CD, available now (first released in 2019).

The Brooklyn-based band, featuring artist Cristy C Road (known for zine work) as primary songwriter, draws inspiration from '90s East Bay punk and pop-punk, with subtle positivity drawn from emotive pop songs of yesteryear. The lineup on Dichoso Corazo also includes Wes Ruiz and Rachel Alicia (Baby Got Back Talk/Gibbons) and bassist Rose Bomberg.
