Garun ta eztarri | Bananas | Hainbat diskoetxe, 2021

Many years have passed since: In the Old Bergara Prison, in the Gaztetxe, two music groups offered an impressive performance on hardcore, an unforgettable and beautiful night. Well, after the concert, the dialogue between the members of both groups, with joy, is as follows: “How did you name Flyshit to the group?” one. “And you, Spermbirds?” the others. They're starved into the crow. Both with strafal names, but that after decades continue in full shape and increasingly explore the post-hardcore and move comfortably.

Bananas is also a very funny name, but taking care of the friends of Musikazuzenean, this week I got the album and what a surprise! I still know little about the members of the group who have presented this feature film (just before they published a shorter paper), but they do so with mime and enthusiasm.

Another album inevitably reminded me of Rites Of Spring, a penetrating and strong melancholy, the essence of post-hardcore. How long does it make me think of emo how far the voice of the singer will go, because this song (and the rest) has it of the two, of the sticky and the acid. A black horse has transparent riffs and an emergency similar to Joseba from the Dut group. Melody is always a song, a tempo and a changing, rich rhythm. An even more playful burden, with more and more emphasis on instrumental games and Lisabö’s memory. Ulia bears the soul of the present Dead industrial atmosphere of the great Leatherface. The first mental war is a beautiful piece that drinks enthusiastically from pop before the apocalypse and then becomes rocker. And finally, Ezetz edo alde is, without a doubt, the pop cry dressed in a trepidious rhythm.

Bankers have been able to combine firmness, rich rhythms, melodies perfectly, the melancholy stimulus of melodia, imagination, acidity, urgency and strength, in a rich result full of contrasts. In fact, it has the essence of the old school post-hardcore, and it's peppered with more colors.
