1917 formed in Buenos Aires in 2007, with brothers Francisco and Manuel Romano and Gustavo Torres making up the core lineup. They released their debut album 'Metal' in 2011, followed by 'Dispersion' in 2014 and 'Plague' in 2018. Their early single 'Agónico Orden' from 2010 became a notable track for them.
Their songs like 'Anidando Entre Serpientes' and 'El Beso del Verdugo' often deal with themes of solitude and existential questioning. They've worked with guitarist Juan Belvis of Los Natas and vocalist Adrián Dargelos of Babasónicos on some recordings.
Some listeners found their material provocative, with lyrics that could be read as bleak or introspective. They developed a following in Argentina's alternative rock circles, though they never became a mainstream commercial act.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
