You have to hear La Versión Extendida de las Cosas. These Costa Rican rockers aren’t playing with their new track “Collie”, their first fully independent banger. No record label suits telling them what to do – this is genuine, real rock straight from them. These guys have been slugging it out for over a decade, and “Collie” shows they’ve got the hacks to back up all that sweat.

Let’s break down the crew making this noise:

So, what’s “Collie” barking about? Forget grand anthems for a second. This track’s all about the beautiful, often overlooked realness of daily life. Inspired by Calvo’s actual experience – a Collie dog faithfully visiting his apartment patio every single afternoon around 4 or 5 PM. That’s it. That’s the spark. But man, does it ignite something deeper.

This is rock ‘n’ roll holding up a mirror to the beauty we hustle past every day. It’s about noticing the Collie on the grass (“AQUI EN EL PASTO / ESPERO”). The recording process was lit. Bass tracked in Chicago, ideas flowing from Guanacaste, drums pounding in Sabanilla, all stitched together with Calvo’s vision. This global-local mashup wasn’t simply logistics; it fueled their creativity, and they’re serving notice: Costa Rican rock has teeth, heart, and something vital to say.

Catch La Versión Extendida de las Cosas’ energy and feel “Collie” on all platforms. This is a reminder to look up from the grind, see the Collie waiting, and find the rock ‘n’ roll soul in the everyday.
