Rewriting the Punk Rock Story
By the end of the 1980s, the bright years of the Basque punk were declining, the bitterness imported from the punk of England in 1977 was not the same and the messages were repeated. One day in a neighborhood in San Sebastian came the punk rock group La Perrera that had caught the attention of other punk rock groups in the United States and Europe: the referents we didn’t know here (Loveslug, Dictators, Angry Samoans, Dead Boys, MC5…) claimed and wrote less political words. They took a wild tour of just five years, paving the way in the face of ignorance and indifference, and just as they started getting recognition, they left the group.
A year later, two of the members of La Perrera – Arturo and Gonzalo Ibañez- founded New Catechism (NCC); and two others – Xabi Garre and Mikel Serrano – Mr. No, two large bands that have become the base of the punk rock of Euskal Herria and the Spanish State in general. Thus, in 2017 NCC turned 25 years and hundreds of memorable concerts, seven studio records, several singles and many collaborations, which have never missed on the road. To celebrate it, they have edited an interesting compilation that brings together in a double CD a total of 46 known and unknown songs of yesterday and today, as well as a complete book of 68 pages on the group written by Dani Mortaja.
Following the trail of La Perrera, but enriching itself with more style, New Catechism has given more nuances to the punk rock throughout his career, always in the coordinates of the angry rock of great style, showing a great knowledge of music. On the first CD there are model pearls and starter discs, live pieces, several shots of Choccablemock, and an inspired version of Dead Boys, Wayne Conty, Rose Tatto, The Flammin’ Groovies and RIP. In the second CD you can find pearls of the latest works, among them sessions of Choccablemock, Bonberenea, direct with El Vez in Tolosa or at the Crossroad festival of Oviedo, unknown pieces of the singles and versions of La Banda trapera, UK Subs or Dead Boys.

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]

The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
