This quartet of Vitoria-Gasteiz has surprised me by the revitalization of the post-hardcore, by the concerts of intense energy, and because the first work is a conceptual disk. They pick the terrible events of history and write to each of them a song. In total, 12 bombings of Gernika, 3 March of Vitoria-Gasteiz, the Leningrad War, Srebrenica and Malaga-Almeria, among others. All under the ironic title of This is fine.

Asier, Mikel, Koke and Oki created the band in 2016 and, as soon as they realized, they already have a very nice album on the street, they have received two important prizes – in the Villa de Bilbao competition they have received the Azkena Rock and Live Culture awards – and they have been very well received by the public. And they live all of this thankful and giving the most rounded concerts possible.

Although the result reminds us of some American groups that acted mainly in the 1990s, the album “This album is made in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Thank you” has been recorded in the Sagasound SLL study of the city of Alavesa under the direction of Koldo Sagaskume.

Fat boy, who opens the album, submits to At The Drive In, one of the favorite pieces in balance between emo and post, at a frenetic pace and with a strong voice. Below is Unit 731, in that broad and living sense of hardcore, like Rites Of Spring. Defense of van has everything: label post-hardcore, intensity, elegance, half-tempos and special environments. The beziers of knife is a more crude massacre, more direct, although it also plays with the rhythm changes. Market Day is darker, worse, the atmosphere of Lisabö and company. And the alliance of the noise Leningrad Block that closes the area of A and the post-hardcore pisoton.

He tells them he's more fleeting, although he also has rocker guitars and leles. The vegetarian operation is located in the center of Fugazi's tempo, but dismissing Make Up and Zen Gerrilla from the most whispering and psychedelic. Machete girl is also a cocktail: from pop to the most raw Placebo. 3 March suffocating instrumentation. Rocket enriched with Srebrenica rhythm changes. And finally, the post-hardcore urgency installed at the Malaga-Almeria end. Pay attention!
