Editor's note

Devotos, Barcelona's punk rock hardcore touchstone

The band that gave Spanish punk its raw, frustrated voice in 1978.

Start with 'Punk Rock HardCore' to hear the band's unfiltered voice. 'A Vida Que Você Me Deu' shows how that early energy carried through.

Their 1981 debut 'Punk Rock HardCore' became a reference point for Spain's emerging punk scene. Songs like 'Aos exilados' and 'Futuro Inseguro' captured that moment's energy with a direct, unfiltered charge. Even later tracks like 'Nós Faremos Que Você Nunca Esqueça' kept that same hardcore impulse alive.

Devotos formed in Barcelona in 1978 with Josu Zabala on vocals and Iñaki Setién on guitar. After Setién left in 1982 to form Los Secretos, they kept releasing albums like 'Falta de Personal' in 1984 and 'La Carne' in 1993. They never broke mainstream but maintained a dedicated following through live albums and compilations marking anniversaries.

Archive material and source history

Devotos formed in Barcelona in 1978, with Josu Zabala on vocals, Iñaki Setién on guitar, Nacho Beltrán on bass, and Bixente Martínez on drums. Their 1981 debut album 'Punk Rock HardCore' gave the band its name and became a touchstone for Spain's emerging punk scene. Songs like 'Aos exilados' and 'Futuro Inseguro' captured the raw, frustrated energy of that moment.

Setién left in 1982 to form Los Secretos, but Devotos kept going. They put out albums like 'Falta de Personal' in 1984 and 'La Carne' in 1993, never quite breaking into the mainstream but maintaining a dedicated following. Their sound stayed rooted in that early hardcore impulse, with tracks like 'Alienação' and 'Alto Estima' carrying the same direct charge.

Over the decades, they've released live albums and compilations marking anniversaries, but that first record remains the one people point to. It's where you hear the band's unfiltered voice, a snapshot of Spanish punk finding its feet.
