Life goes around many, many and unexpected. I lived the birth of Zea Mays very close to my sister for passionate, but then I dedicated myself somehow to them knowing that they were still working and so happy, but watching other groups. A few years ago, though, I saw them live, and the slap! Gregarious, full and firm. Then, at the beginning of the pandemic, I looked at the Atera album, what a job! And paradoxical paradoxes, the first concert I saw in the dark pandemic, incredible, was theirs, the one of Victoria Eugenia, and what concert, what emotion, and how many emotions we had -- the people -- dressed almost two hours of alien masks yet.
The team has had to make a long cut, but the need to celebrate life has again prevailed, always life. The symptoms that took on prominence in the Carpa have come to stay, and on this occasion they have also taken advantage of these four beasts to give a more rounded body to the songs. Adorator has the DNA of the group completely stuck: rhythm like the Swiss, catchy and sensitive melodies and round songs; You the struggle is more paused but firm and immerses itself in the rhythms of post-punk and German pioneers. Kemena combines orchestral, rocker and dancing passages. For nothing, he has penetrating and brilliant guitars, in the shadow of the '90s. The curaia is more celestial, but it permeates with intensity, cadence and drama. Tango heart is a rich exercise (and result) to revitalize the classic side with symptoms and guitars. Courage, courage, curaia is the arrow born a heavy metal and directing the post-punk clock. I am not a little paused with them have gathered Rozal. Don't scream, minimalist electronics and strong rock relieve. And finally, the rave of celebration is Bizia. Because before and now, every song by Zea Mays, for its characteristics and reasons, is a celebration.
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.

The sum of four elements does not always give four, usually more than that. And of course, they walked through a number of projects and to know how and why they came together. Atxe, Led Inferno, Osoron and Txerra. We thought they were going to make punk for the background, but... [+]
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... [+]
Fly Shit is one of the few hardcore groups in Debagoiena. Without great intentions and totally convinced when they do, they have a firm path on their backs without squeezing the hurts and at the same time without cuts. Moreover, they have never given a bad concert, nor a major... [+]
Oñati is a special village in many ways, and let us not say, under the eyes of neighbouring peoples, what glasses we wear! People and citizens have many characteristics of their own, and the movement surrounding the youth assembly, both in the past and in the surroundings of... [+]
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... [+]
