The other day I read to Joseba Ponce that in Berria, presenting the JP Lohian project, “I missed the young Martians”, however, almost all groups of young people today have a similar musical offer. I agree with him to a large extent, but to that I would add that today’s young people have very little interest in new offers. I have often thought – and I have written – that in our time, when there was no internet or youtube, we were risking much more to go to concerts by unknown groups, with minimal reference or with the help of nothing. And those things were just the surprises, the big ones!

From another point of view, in the size in which we are organizing concerts we can see that today’s young people – I mean those under 30 – are willing to see five or six music groups to move around and buy the entrance. Thank you for the novelty, diversity and quality, one of them is Glaukoma.

In this context, most of the groups that are formed today are grouped into specific tribes or areas, so it is not easy to get out of them and move forward. One of them is the Egin group, which has its own trio and members of Ondarroa, Gasteiz and Salvatierra. The last album that you have just presented is, as on previous occasions, the metal and the punk pop, styles that have had a great presence among us from the 1990s to the present and that are quite accepted.

Well, one of the characteristics of the Egin group – surely because each member comes from a village and a different starting point – is that the songs cover more than one style, and in more than one case with almost extreme tempos, environments and emotions. More than one listener may be chosen one or the other, but not the combination of two (or three). The songs have a lot of melody, the vital energy of punk pop to rejuvenate and perpetuate, but also the heaviest thrash and naive metals of the old school. And in the environmental changes that occur when the songs are written, or in the nuances that add them, it is noticeable that the members of the group are fans of music and have a great instrumental capacity.

The opening of the offer of the participants and the group is also reflected in the work of other musicians who have contributed to this album: Juantxo Rage, from Glaukoma, in the round practice missing most Slogans who resurrect Against the Machine; Fer Apoa Thinks, decides, takes violent but sensitive songs; and Master Keu Agirretxea adds his guitars in a lot of songs.
