What a name for a group and what a ingenuity! Who knows where they would get their name from! In fact, a week ago I did it with two of the members of the group, except at the anniversary festival of the Andoain Gaztetxe, where I also forgot to ask.
Because there I found Nabarro and Kabra, in the same corner as always, and surely Txabes, Miguel and the others would not go far from there. All of them have been clearly part of the landscape and activities of the Andoain Gaztetxe; in the first, being young, seeing and learning; and in the second, creating and eliminating from the learned (ji).
Kompases Pigs is an Andoain group of the 1990s, 30%, which was part of the second generation of hardcore groups from Andoain with Gaizkiñe, Karkaxa and so on. It was characterized by two strong, street, convincing and raw voices and a broad reading of the hardcore. They only published a model with Jomes, with whom, if not?, recorded in 1994. And once again, the brothers Artza, the Peña and others who want to stay in the shade, have recovered, ordered and brought in vinyl and elegant work of archaeology and dissemination.

Batxurizopa Eresia deploys its work with round words that combine hardcore-punk fast and half-tempo, without excess or filter. Dreams are faster and evoke RKL and Iturralde's Kontxixi. Trembling is dressed in darker barrels and with sometimes raped voices. Shadow and light and sumas and bouquets have their feet on the metallized hardcore. The night the cadence of Life…but how to live? and the punk of burners impregnated with the rhythm changes of RKL. Black eyes guitar and fast; and Americius hardcore-punk apocalypse infrequent.
Beyond the original model, songs like Komunik kontrola, hardcore-punka hit sung in Basque at that time, Darkest Times of Corruption, Hatred, Twinning with Anesthesia, or the heavy Cornered, among others have also been recovered.
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... [+]

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... [+]

queer movement of Madrid, and recently I had the opportunity to know it in its essence, the direct one. Then I learned that the group was created by Bethlehem (voice and guitar), born in Argentina and moved from young to Madrid, and that he joined

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... [+]
