Forget about the past, we're here
It is known that the Left Margin of Bilbao has had a lot to do with punk and powerful rock, and of them stands out the role that Barakaldo has played in this work. In 2013, Gotzon Hermosilla, an experienced journalist, wrote and published the book Barakaldo revienta (The Secret History of Punk Rock in Barakaldo), reviewing in detail what Barakaldo, a city of size, gave along these musical styles.
They have now taken a further step towards a better understanding of the history and present of this city, plagued by gigantic shopping centres, demolished companies and companies drowned by unemployment; musicians and music lovers have created a collection of records with songs from fifteen musical groups currently in force, where, accompanied by an attractive design, they have explained very clearly the details of each of them and have compiled a record of all of them.
Not all groups, of course. The purpose of the drivers has been to bring together the groups working around the punk rock in the Basque Country. These include long-established groups, the 1980s, which have been stationed for a long time and have returned with renewed forces. It's a sign that rock poison continues to bleed up for a long time. In any case, as in many other towns and cities, in groups and projects, surnames, aliases and in the background are repeated, since rock and punk lovers often form the same family.
Parabellum is Barakaldo's most famous group and his teammate Txetxu is the creator of the album La Kontra, with a song that has a lot of punk, vomit and strong guitars of the year 77. Paniks rara avisa and on the garage-punk path he has honored the great Billy Childish. Fatalena is punk rock-and-roller and reminds Natxo and rocker MCD in her voice. Tiparrakers is a very nice surprise: with imaginative and strong guitars sings up to Morfiren de La Trapera. Putakaska still lives and reminds us of the most melodic punk groups in the 1980s. Radiocrime has a very personal voice and this time it's melodic. The National Audience has a lot of poetry. Porco Bravo is a live punk rock-and-roll who drinks a lot from hard rock. And, of course, there is more: there are Radikal Hardcore, the only one who works hardcore together with Si Te Cah, the mythical Distorsion, whose trans transformation is El Lobo de Armañón, Karretera Agropecuaria, no, paying tribute to the city of Parabellum.
The Barakaldo is fit and anyone who doesn't think he tests it from here.

On November 25, International Day against Male Violence, the Steilas Feminist Union Feminist Secretariat has published a poster: Our body is a battlefield, and all the schools in Hego Euskal Herria have received it. We wish to denounce the violence suffered by women and children... [+]
We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]
The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.

Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]
Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
