The essence of rock and roll is not old

Red light stories | John Dealer and The Coconuts | Autoekoizpena.

I am not nostalgic and I am aware that each generation has or should have its own tendencies. I'm also very clear that rock and roll doesn't attract young people's attention, with the surprising exception of punk! However, I got a smile reading the word baby in the first song on this album. Out of other connotations, fortunately, this album and group drinks at ease with the topics of rock and roll. I am also glad that it is being done against the wind.

John Dealer and The Coconuts emerged in Legazpi in 2015, with the firm intention of making rock and roll in the broadest sense in English and well spoken. Four young people who participated in other projects met with a desire to value them in the same group. They started the concerts, and in 2016 they published the model. In 2018, they published We will get together in hell. This last work has received for the first time two songs in Basque. Like the previous one, it has been recorded in the study of the Potto de Beasain with the great Freddy Pelaez.

Queens don't fall in love has the urgency and pride of Gluecifer, the melody of the punk rock of 77, and the riff has reminded me a lot of Nirvana's no and the song. Say is unrelated to Hellacopters’ most High Visibility garage – glam, elegant rock…– and Freddy Pelaez’s hammond has no envy of Boba Fett. Someone Split the beer on my head is more combative and has a basic rock and-roll cadence and rockabilly dark and intense. They have also made it clear that they are able to work interesting proposals in Basque, and they have given us the elegant piece of Hastío Rock from the 1970s. Going back and forth over time in the wide range of rock and roll, in the song Tell me why they have stood in front of groups like Rationals that long ago wanted to marry high-energy and soula in Detroit. The City of RnR also features the powerful and penetrating melodies of the past, such as the elegance of Sewergrooves. We are nothing, and the Never giving up throws in a sticky, more classical and direct way the intentions and concerns of the members of the group.

Vital

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... [+]

The fantasy of being honest

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... [+]

More edges than cats

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... [+]

Don't get tired on the favorite plain

"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.

Because for most creators, what we do is the shadow of what we've done once... [+]

Two treasures and a crib: Buenawixta

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... [+]

Destroy to build in freedom

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... [+]

Pioneers and not understood

In 1988, in the midst of punk youth and RRV in Euskal Herria, between Bilbao and Santurtzi, four brave young men who looked at transoceanic music, including the antipodes, founded the La Secta group, one of the drivers of the pioneer fanzine The Heritage of the Munster. In... [+]

The beauty of quiet

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,... [+]

Nobody will be invited to steal

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... [+]

Vouchers for therapies

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... [+]
