Arkada Social is a Arrasate punk street group (Gipuzkoa). It's becoming more and more popular and has more and more followers, because it does what it does well. The group has extensive experience as it was founded in 1997. Their teammates, before, were trained in groups such as Des-Kontrol, Jukebox, Cool Circus, etc.
Before death, the Arkada Social group has released the CDs No Suffering no Glory (Brixton Records, 2003), Forever (self-production, 2006) and Beste historia bat (Mauka, 2012), and the DVD Zuzenean (self-production, 2008). If you look at these works, the evolution of the group is remarkable. In these years, he has refined and reinforced his melody with essays and performances.
In the new work they have made a strong and powerful sound. Hodei's torn voice and the choirs that make the rest of the components stand out about guitars. The songs are strong and direct, without great decorations, but well crafted.
Arkada Social gave a street punk or Oi! They play the melodies, but in their songs there are touches of punk melodic, punk rock fast, punk classic German punk, scar, vomit and other punk groups from the Basque Country of the 1980s. All these trends combine well, and Oi! de Arrasate. It's obvious that they're the lovers of tradition.
In other words, the members of the group convey their indignation. They make a criticism and a complaint. Among other things, they will talk about the Spanish State and the army, the police, the prisons, corruption or the robbers of ties. They speak out aloud. About life – “Life makes you stumble the day before, today at the end of the day to see the light, so endure life” (Living before death); about friendship – “Past time puts you in the place that belongs to all people and that is why a greeting and a hug with a knife has come” (Goodbye, friend); about the struggle – “Don’t expect it. We don’t want them in the photos either, we want them at home” (We’re not all).
The components of Arkada Social are Hodei Beitia (bass and voice), Julio Hernández (drums and voices), Brian de Inda (guitar) and Mikel Arriaran (guitar and voices). The work is completed by Haritz Harreguy (sound technician), Juan Hidalgo (mastering), Iagoba Domingo (design), Javier Bergasa (cover illustration) and Josu Txintxurreta (photography). The recording and production are well made and the presentation of the CD is spectacular.

I was surprised – in a good sense – by this new project. In Bergara, Aitor Aldanondo, created around a stone, has many senses. In this work he wanted to somehow get what he has lived for years.
Aldanondo started her musical career in the Criminal Brigade group, dedicated to... [+]
On the occasion of a documentary about Eñaut Elorrieta, I was invited to Tabakalera two or three weeks ago. I liked the invitation to the colloquial premiere, but when I approached the film I began to find many people, there Paul e Itziar, there Maiz, there Eneko, Olatz e... [+]
Sometimes you have to combine a lot of elements to get a result you haven't anticipated. This has happened in some way with the Feline group, created between Gernika and Bermeo. Iñaki Baini, from the Punk First Aid group, started playing with electronics at home and recorded... [+]
"Here, as a revelation, space and time look clearer." Look at Narbaiza come back and thank you. Narbaiza is one of the most special singers on the scene. There is no more to see how new songs govern.

I was very pleased that the Artza brothers, together with the launch of the new record, intended to retrieve and vinyl the Barrakos model, where would I buy it? In fact, the model cited in 1990 is a treasure that our music has been ignored in history. Some of those who would act... [+]
There's no other way, you have to change what you don't like and create something else: break it and start from scratch. That was the basis of punk, and that's what Leire Led Inferno (voice) and Txerra Bolinaga (drums) decided when the Piztupunk group voluntarily dissolved and... [+]
If you're one of those listening to music on the Internet, you almost certainly know Kokoroko. You don't think so, but take a second and look for Abusey Junction. The melancholic riff guitar by Oscar Jerome has been known for being among the favorites of the algorithm of platforms... [+]

Euskal Herria will not issue stories like Searching for sugar man. What we are going to do is diminished and disadvantaged. But this small town, and the great hell, is the one that has given many myths that come out of the shadows and come back into the shadows.
In the 1980s,... [+]
The Perlata de Arrasate group will not marry almost anyone. Since 2015 they have been making their own way, looking at what is being done around them, but in their own direction and pace and not reassure them. They carry quite a few records and miles on their backs. I was... [+]
The pandemic crisis has also been a new opportunity for regeneration, as demonstrated by the Odolaren Mintzoa group in Usurbil. His work mocking normality has been slowly cured in the Garate de Andoain studies. With the help of Kaki Arkarazo collects 8 refined songs.

Any of us, each of us, are necessarily a reflection swimming in an immense sea surrounded by threats, opportunities and many other living beings. We have a good job in managing our own flotation line, as well as choosing what to collect and dispense with waves, waves, etc. They... [+]
In the end he has done so. Finally, after years of progress, bertsolari Odei Barroso has taken his first solo job. Well, bertsolari doesn't. Raplari before being bertsolari. But the wisdom of the verse is well used, to say with rhyme to those who had to say and shake themselves... [+]
