A Barcelona band that started with local gigs and found a viral hit with 'Battleships'.
If you're new to them, start with 'Paper Planes' and 'Charlie Parker', they capture that early, sunny Barcelona sound before things got bigger.
They're one of those groups that feels like a real discovery, a bunch of students from the Autonomous University of Barcelona who started playing local venues and ended up with songs that traveled. 'Paper Planes' has that bright, jangly guitar sound that became their signature, and 'Battleships' from their 2012 album 'Who Killed Bambi?' actually went viral and charted in a few countries. It's not just studio polish; there's a lived-in quality to how they came together.
They formed around 2005 and put out their debut 'First Dance' in 2009. After 'Who Killed Bambi?' in 2012 and a break around 2014, they came back with 'The End is Near' in 2017.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
