This alternative indie rock band has been described as "an ensemble of four hip guys serving up an easy-to-listen-to sound with a fresh attitude," by the Inland Empire Weekly and "A fresh new burst of energy into the Corona music scene," by the Inner Circle Corona.

Band members Jesse Briseno, bass; Leandro Barrientos, vocals/rhythm guitar; Nick Barrientos, lead guitar; and Sterling Fairfield, drums; deliver sounds that mimic the Pixies rawness mixed with a use of melodic motifs that bring chills and chants to their live audience shows. Influence by current bands like Delta Spirit, Arcade Fire and Dawes makes them a stand out performance among the local music scene. "[Our music is] honest and raw; we're not trying to put up a front," said lead vocalist Leandro Barrientos. "We all grew up in a time when music was valued more so for its integrity rather than how many records it sold and we reflect that same attitude with the amount of passion we put into creating our songs."

After launching with their 2012 E.P, Bless This House along with a series of local shows filled with crowd-rousing songs like "I saw you on the radio" Castle Pines has become a staple in Corona including landing a spot as resident band at Rockefellas Bar.

Being inspired by many local and mainstream artists that played at the Showcase Theatre, their hometown venue known all around the country for its unheard of crowd energy, until its unfortunate close in 2008, Castle Pines aims to bring that passion back to their hometown. They've attempted this the only way they know how: by writing and performing music that creates a lasting impression on the crowd and leaves them wanting more.
