The importance of the voiceless
Andoni Fernández Azkarai has done a great job of remembering the unknown groups that met in Bizkaia between 1977 and 1989 around punk. In addition to choosing 60 groups that did not publish their albums, he has conducted broad and entertaining interviews with its protagonists, he has recovered and digitized models that have been left in the shadow; anyone can download them on the web mierdadebizkaia.bandcamp.com.
Barakaldo occupies a great deal of weight in the collection, as it had a significant rise of punk: Corruption, which reminded The Clash 091; Isidoro and his Collection of Folding Doors (I am the seed of Julius Caesar) from pop and punk; Pleonakis Plektos; Mierda Baterikerra, the new hardcore pioneer. From Cruces, the unspeakable Trapu Zaharrak; from Basauri P.Ko the Putreak Breakthrough Scheme; the pioneering Escombro (Portugalete); the memorable Bay of Cochinos (Santurtzi); and Osteoarthritis and V. Debates of the European Parliament So will the Nazkatutas of Sestao, the punk of 77.
The great Bilbao also has a lot to say: N-634, by Kike Turmix; Eye Orthopedics, pioneering group; Singapore Medans, punk and afterpunka; Primitives, the antecedent of MCD; Tarratol-Punkola Church girl; Tarratol-Carenka; Cardá.
Most of the counties are represented: Punk del Skakeo del Duranguesado 77; Ska de la Misera; Noisy polyputes; Shameless stupidofacient; and Amonal punky. Pispulutos, by Erandio; Kiskillas Farrangosas, punk rockero; Doubtful descendants, punk bativo; Deskonzierto, punk melodic; and Pus de Rata.
Also the punk hardcore Banko of Sperm of Ermua and the punky Anarcharrak. Zurrapak punk eta rock-and-roll by Urdabai; Xe Osti singer-ska by Gernika; Fosa Comun siniestroa; Mundaka Emergency Exit; New Religion mixed group getxotarra; and Kriston Atxurre by Ondarroa from the coast.

Punk. Punk is back, or, rather, has never gone. Those from Zikine come from Lekitxo (and not from Lekeitio), with the elegant Bala Galdua Zure Buru Galduan who have recently published with Pentecost.

You cannot read a group without taking into account the past of your colleagues; and in this case, exercise is even more difficult. There's a member of Tatxers, and Borla reminds the Tatxers group. It is inevitable to think about the previous group, but we stayed short, because... [+]

How many things go unnoticed. Even if they move in niches, is each niche no longer too big? This EP by artist Alai comes from Tolosa with a perfectionist electronics like breakbeat, jungle, UK garage and aromatized house with an Afro-Caribbean flavor.

Even though I felt like Escorbutin in my youth, Antton Carretero, born in Aramaio, has always had
a longer look: punka yes, of course, and the kinya is better, but he looks at many other styles going through prejudices, canallagos, more sensitive… All of them help to bring... [+]
I placed the group in the

In the past, we already knew by heart all Joker’s phrases from The Dark Knight, as “chaos agent.” I had him, for example, to explain his behavior: "Do I think of a guy with a plan? Do you know what I am? A dog running behind cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I hit him. I'm... [+]
