A Catalan punk band that mixed raw energy with political lyrics and Latin rhythms.
For a quick sense of their sound, try "Ĉiuj Ni Amegas Usonon" or "Valso kun Komunistino", they capture that mix of raw punk and pointed commentary.
They formed in 1987, pulling from The Ramones and local acts like Kortatu, but their songs carried a sharp political edge that often got them in trouble with authorities. Tracks like "Ĉiuj Ni Amegas Usonon" questioned systems directly, and their raw, melodic style wove in Latin rhythms that set them apart in the scene. They weren't just another punk band; they gave voice to dissent in a way that resonated and ruffled feathers.
They started in Barcelona with Toni Lizard on vocals and guitar, Josep "Pipo" Vendrell on bass, and Lluis "Bubi" Serra on drums, keeping that core lineup steady. Their music stayed rooted in punk's directness but added melodic touches and rhythmic shifts that reflected their surroundings, even as their political lyrics led to canceled shows.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
