Interestingly, Entzun magazine. Created in the 1990s, it is the pioneering musical magazine in Euskera and the only, except the fanzine Izu Giroa hardcore-punk. Although he was about to disappear, he is still alive, although in recent decades he only sees the light once a year as an annuary and physically: in the book. Even if this is so, it is not an annuary, as it does not intend to add up all the proceeds of the year. Thus, always through reports, interviews, photographs and comments from dozens of authors, it provides an interesting and juicy sample of what the year has given in the Basque Country. And it almost always collects a collection of songs.
In the 2023 edition it has also been and is more physical: they have published their collection for the first time in vinyl, and have gathered in physical support eleven songs unpublished or not published so far.
The album is broadcast by Munlet, precursor of the synth-electro-punk of Euskal Herria, in tribute to Devo. Otoi continues to work a post and pop-rock full of intrigue and feelings. Mice offers us a special exercise, a savage pearl with energy and cadence from young Patti Smith, recorded in Zaballa prison. Arima Soul, with the help of DJ Farrapo, has become even more playable with soul, Latin melody, electroswing and electronics. Girl Coyote and Girl Tornado give us a heavy, clean and shiny piece improvised in a study from Chile.
Area B, meanwhile, has been expanded by the Mondragonese group Romintxelak, which explores the beginnings of swing and gipsy music. Device has finally released the version of the Sleaford Mods Besukatzen group, which makes us enjoy live. The great Petti has removed the dust from the first tomato hit Egun bat gehiago hit! No expiry date, collected at Bera Customs, and it's made it brilliant. The Iraqi multi-instrumentalist Bobbi Relac has immersed us in different environments and travels (exotic, psychodelia…). Uger has recorded a positive song linking psychedelic drops. And finally, the duo Muare has united tenderness and experimentation in the crib.
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.
And what I thought was a... [+]
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
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... [+]

I have never known very well what the British roll is, perhaps because I have never been very fond. However, I have no doubt about what they say. It can be seen in sound and melody, a... [+]
