Country: Netherlands
Year: 2008
Genre: hardcore,punk, rock

Alright then! Rush’N Attack from the northern part of Holland has a brand new EP called “White Smoke“. It’s Rush’N Attack their second EP following on the “Donut Hole EP” which was released in February 2008. We from Crucial Attack Records are really proud with this new release!

In case you don't know Rush’N Attack This Dutch outfit offers a stylistic blender mix that for the most part surprises, but only gradually wins you over. With “White Smoke” they still continuing their own kind of twist on hardcore-punk; Tense, twangy lead guitar plays over screamed vocals with a Henry Rollins intensity. The arrangements have a tight, MINUTEMEN flavour, though Rush’N Attack clearly rocks on the side of hardcore.

After the release of their debut EP “Donut Hole” the band started to play more and more shows and continued the rampage they already started with the release of their demo early 2007. Now one and a half year later we where more than excited about “White Smoke”.

For fans of Black Flag, Annihilation Time, Fucked Up and New Bomb Turks.

Gerda - III (2009)


01. 1
02. 2
03. 3
04. 4
05. 4


Country: Italy
Genre: Screamo, Mathcore, Noise, Chaotic Hardcore
Label: Wallace Records, Bloody Sound, The Fucking Clinica.

Italy does not get near enough credit for its innovative and raging hardcore bands. La Quiete and Raein of course get a fair bit of attention, but there are so many others that are pushing musical boundaries. The Infarto Scheisse and Lady Tornado have intense chaotic sounds that stand out and sound unlike most other bands. I recently discovered Lafalce who were pre The Infarto Scheisse and are also pretty raging. Then there are plenty of great screamo bands such as Violent Breakfast and more recent ones such as Morning Wood and Chinese Dama. Bands such as A Flower Kollapsed also play this sound but with more noise elements. Somewhere in amongst all of this lie Gerda, playing heavy and chaotic hardcore that is so fucking awesome and intense. Apparently people who like Gerda should also like Breach, Dissonant, Violent and Hard To Swallow. I must admit I've not heard of any of these bands so I guess I am not the fountain of knowledge I had thought. Guess I had better check them all out.

Gerda continue their brand of chaotic hardcore along similar lines to their previous album 'Cosa Dico Quando Non Parlo' on this new 12''. I only labelled it as 'screamo post metal noise' in the abstract because I don't really know how to define it - I saw a distro call it this and found it quite funny. The first side of this LP is much like the previous album. It doesn't really let up at any point, the vocalist screams away like something tragic has happened and the instruments all combine together to make a noise that I greatly enjoy. To be honest it kind of all merges together and sounds the same but maybe it requires many listens to fully appreciate the chaotic beauty. I like the basic sound that is going on so am happy anyway. Bits of it remind me of Dolcim, just a little slower but just as intense. There are some similarities with The Infarto Scheisse too I think. Maybe some people will find it a bit too samey but its hard to remain ultra intense and not have parts that sound similar.

The second side of the record goes a bit more experimental. They even mellow out a bit at times. It still sounds fantastic and so should be applauded that the band are being a bit more original that their standard sound. The lyrics are said to be introspective and desperate but there is no English translation or explanations. Overall, this is great stuff and maybe you will enjoy it too.

In defense of the fundamental rights of internet

Javier "Barrapunto" Candeira writes, "Last Monday the Spanish Government sent the parliament the latest draft for the Ley de Economia Sostenible (Sustainable Economy Act), which contained riders modifying the current laws on copyright and interactive services. These amendments give the Spanish Ministy of Culture the administrative power to take down websites (or order ISPs to block those hosted overseas), all without a court order and in the name of 'safeguarding Intellectual Property Laws against Internet Piracy'. For this reason some of us have written a manifesto that is being published today all over Spanish weblogs and media."

A group of journalists, bloggers, professionals and creators want to express their firm opposition to the inclusion in a Draft Law of some changes to Spanish laws restricting the freedoms of expression, information and access to culture on the Internet. They also declare that:

1 .- Copyright should not be placed above citizens' fundamental rights to privacy, security, presumption of innocence, effective judicial protection and freedom of expression.

2 .- Suspension of fundamental rights is and must remain an exclusive competence of judges. This blueprint, contrary to the provisions of Article 20.5 of the Spanish Constitution, places in the hands of the executive the power to keep Spanish citizens from accessing certain websites.

3 .- The proposed laws would create legal uncertainty across Spanish IT companies, damaging one of the few areas of development and future of our economy, hindering the creation of startups, introducing barriers to competition and slowing down its international projection.

4 .- The proposed laws threaten creativity and hinder cultural development. The Internet and new technologies have democratized the creation and publication of all types of content, which no longer depends on an old small industry but on multiple and different sources.

5 .- Authors, like all workers, are entitled to live out of their creative ideas, business models and activities linked to their creations. Trying to hold an obsolete industry with legislative changes is neither fair nor realistic. If their business model was based on controlling copies of any creation and this is not possible any more on the Internet, they should look for a new business model.

6 .- We believe that cultural industries need modern, effective, credible and affordable alternatives to survive. They also need to adapt to new social practices.

7 .- The Internet should be free and not have any interference from groups that seek to perpetuate obsolete business models and stop the free flow of human knowledge.

8 .- We ask the Government to guarantee net neutrality in Spain, as it will act as a framework in which a sustainable economy may develop.

9 .- We propose a real reform of intellectual property rights in order to ensure a society of knowledge, promote the public domain and limit abuses from copyright organizations. 10 .- In a democracy, laws and their amendments should only be adopted after a timely public debate and consultation with all involved parties. Legislative changes affecting fundamental rights can only be made in a Constitutional law.

The Tritones - Requiem for a Mermaid (2007)



01. Chagrin de la mer
02. The Man Upstairs
03. Vicky´s Butterfly




Country
: Belgium
Genre: Surf, Post Rock, Indie
Label: The WAB

Mysterious and atmospheric, epic and even dramatic. Those are the words that come to mind when you try to describe the music of The Tritones. Call it neo-surf, call it film music, call it whatever you want, The Tritones will always create a quite unique soundscape made of pure emotion and wild imagination.

In June 2006 their long awaited follow-up demo saw the light of day: “Requiem for a Mermaid”. Then, things started happening. Director Koen Mortier selected “Chagrin de la mer” to be used in “Ex-Drummer”, a movie based on the novel by Herman Brusselmans. Ozark Henry asked for “Requiem…” on The Tritones MySpace page. RifRaf, Poppunt Magazine and Musiczine.net applauded the quality and subtlety of the music.

Ainara has always been the most intimate of artists. Listening to her music you feel like you are there with her in the room, listening to private conversations, conversations which even at their most angry retain a warm honesty and a glowing humanness. Her new album “Forgive me if I don´t come home to sleep tonight” raises the intimacy bar significantly. Not a single gesture is wasted. It is not always a smooth journey, but it is a deep one. She puts you THERE. That shaded, thorny place that we all know and often rightfully fear. But her songs are a brave, compassionate and elucidating guide and in the end we can only be thankful for her courage.

Nos presentan ahora, bueno, por este año. Su He never is coming back, que no es otra cosa, que la muestra de hasta donde se puede llevar el gusto por la música más extrema. Sinceramente, escuchar este disco supone un esfuerzo mental bastante grande , por su dureza y crudeza. Me explico, es un album demoledor, abrasivo, desgarrador, brutal, contundente y así, muchos adejtivos más. Por eso, debe de abstenerse gnete sensible y gente no tan sensible. Desde el primer minuto, podemos saborear la dulzura con la que estos cuatro musicos sacan lo mejor de si. Si cierras los ojos para escuchar este album, te aviso, es muy posible de que lleves algún susto y ya veréis el por qué.

Gaza son sencillamente geniales, acojonantes y ojalá, sigan sacandao muchos muchos muchos discos. Este es otro que hay que comprar obligatoriamente. Órdago para Gaza. Pobre de mis oídos y de vecinos, claro.

Country: France.
Genre: Hardcore, Metal.
Label: GSR.

Some bands are famous, others are infamous and Kickback from Paris, the latest signing to the GSR roster, are most defintiely the latter. With a history that is rife with controversey, violence and hatred along with a middle finger and fuck you attitude to the hardcore scene that spawned them, Kickback return with their first album in almost 10 years titled No Surrender. As one of the first bands to fuse metal and hardcore, Kickback continue where they left off and all 11 songs on No Surrender are fuelled by the hate that drives them.

Stephen's vocals are as raw and pissed off as they ever were, spitting venom and rage with every twisted line of contempt. The music is a barrage of metallic riffing and thunderous drumming that lurches with groove forcing you to bang your head. With a history that spans almost 20 years and with thousands of records sold worldwide this is a much anticipated release for many people and is a continuation of the band's already powerful and destructive legacy. Kickback are very much back on the map and will be a force to be reckoned with in 2009 when thoughts and ideas have become weak and watered down and an attitude of following the leader with a sheep like mentality has become the norm, Kickback are here to tip the scales and upset the balance. No Surrender is just that and more and with a standpoint of Forever War, let the controversey continue. -GSR-

Don Van Vliet, también conocido como Captain Beefheart (traducción literal; Capitán Corazón de Vaca) nació a mediados de los años 40’, en el distrito de Cucamonga (California - EEUU). Artista que no se limita a la música, sujeto a un eclecticismo y libertad creativa etiquetada por muchos de enfermiza; por lo iconoclasta y surrealista de su hacer.

Su obra musical más aclamada es Trout Mask Replica, proyecto que conformó con su banda de soporte. Experimento libre de poesía, disonancia y atonalidad en ritmica sincopada, fragmentada, que a extrañeza de antiguos rankings musicales supo vender un considerable número de copias (sobre todo para semejante obra experimental). Quizás gracias al «de boca en boca» de los músicos contemporáneos (cabe destacar a Frank Zappa, productor del disco). Comentan los escuchas que se requiere de cierta predisposición intelectual y dósis de paciencia a lo «extraño» para apreciar este y demas discos suyos.

Anteriormente se editan trabajos donde hay cierto acercamiento y inmersion al avant garde. Posterior a Trout Mask Replica hay tres discos editados en los 70’s donde continua la vía experimental, para luego crear con un enfoque de mayor semejanza a los estándares de la época.

This is one of my favorite hardcore releases of 2008, any format: vinyl, cd or tape. These NYC dudes play a noisy brand of hardcore that remind me of old AmRep bands of the early 90's. The style/production is raw and harsh. Lots of really cool guitar work and shouted vocals with some reverb in it brings a different approach to the music. This is a total DIY full length tape release, something that is pretty rare these days. I bought this tape on a whim, and was a total surprise. I'd like to see these guys live. -Crucial Changes-

Genre: Gunge, Stoner, Alternative.
Label: None.

The band Love in Elevator started in late 2001 in Venice with Anna Carazzai (vocalist, guitarist), Giulia Volpato (singer), Michela Modesto (bassist) and Tommaso Sogne (drummer). The first original lineup lasted from 2001 to 2006. 2004 the band went into a Milano studio called Mezzanima and recorded their first few tracks. The result was the EP Venoma on Jestrai Records label. It consisted of four songs: Venoma, Buildings Upside Down, Helter Skelter (Beatles cover, moreover published in the Beatles compilation by Jestrai 2004), Doe (Breeders cover).

Since 2004 Love in Elevator have been touring small underground clubs, bars to gain more recognition, and they gained popularity supporting national and international rock bands and participating to the big festival Rock in Idro in 2005 (Juliette Lewis and the Licks, Turbonegro, The Hives, etc..).At the beginning of 2005, Love in Elevator returned to the studio, this time the Natural Headquarter Studio in Ferrara, for the realise of the violent and uncompromising Sue Me, that gained numerous positive reviews.Love in Elevator sounds noisy, abrasive and pure: the band managed to express the schizophrenic coexistence of the innocent, apprehensive, defenseless child with the experienced evil.

By the time of their second album, 2008's Re Pulsion, the band didn’t smoothed out their rougher edges.Sue Me was already an eruption of cathartic violence, but Re Pulsion is a set of psychological traumas, a witchy pandemonium, hysterical screams and massive distortions, from which Anna vomited harrowing lyrics, mad with rage, disenchantment and frustration. The new line-up is setted on July 2008 with Christian (Boulevard Pasteur, Malvena) and Roberto (Diet Kiss, Meian Project), at bass and drums.After a new tour that included also gigs in France, the band decides to quit Jestrai Records, to start a new self-managed course. On October 2009, Love in Elevator is the official Mudhoney's support band for their three gigs in Italy.

10. Bogman


Country: USA.
Genre: Sludge, Post-Punk.
Label: From the Nursery.

Armed with drums and (ultra distorted) bass only, this heavy, hellbound girl-boy two-piece from Brooklyn crashes and bashes though ten trashed tracks of roughhewn rumble, making quite a crazed art-metal-noise racket. The drummer (girl, Speck Brown) pounds the skins with brutal abandon. Meanwhile the bassist (boy, Brendan Majewski) sings, in the most vicious nasty shriek he can muster, which is indeed brutal too, all the while ripping out the distorted riffage - which can get kinda catchy, on such negative creep cuts as "Love Is For The Birds". Elsewhere they lay waste to such troubling topics as "Penis Farm", "Swan Blood", and "Jane Fonda".

Titling their album Aborted By Birth may be intended to draw comparisons to death metallers Cannibal Corpse, if only to stress their metallic bona fides, since otherwise they probably get a lot of Lightning Bolt references, due to the bass-drums duo setup. Naturally, godheadSilo, Jucifer, and Israel's Barbara would be other good comparisons.By the way, if you go on YouTube and look 'em up, you'll find some pretty cool, arty homemade videos for each of this album's songs!

MICROFILM is a french band created in 2003 by musicians coming from various musical backgrounds and bands such as Gum, Seven Hate and Myra Lee. The result of their meeting is an instrumental music including audio and video samples and is often described as Post Rock in the vein of Mogwai, Explosions in the sky, From monuments to masses... The project takes its true dimension in concert through the projection of pictures sampled from movies and then graphically re-animated.To avoid looking like any simple movie concert and to keep spotlight on the musicians's play, the images are piloted directly by the musicians to the rythm of the songs thanks to pedals specially designed by them.

The music style is quite original since they only listen to their feelings and music is their way to express their emotions.Concerning their musical tastes, it's pretty wide,from deeply independent rockbands to highly commercial Mtv productions such as Sonic Youth, Jawbox, The Neptunes, My Bloody Valentine, Queens Of The Stone Age, Foxy Brown, Bernard Hermann, Black Sabbath... The first album of MICROFILM "A journey to the 75th" was released on cd in January 05 (Rejuvenation records/JR prod) and then re-released on LP in January 06 (Migouri records).It was acclaimed by the french independent press,fanzines and websites...it even appeared in the american website The Silent Ballet's Top 50 of instrumental releases (2006)! "Stereodrama" the title of their latest album, is the band's most complete production since it was conceived as a whole.Comfortably sitting in his chair with a pair of 3D glasses included in the album, the listener can plunge himself completely in the plastic and musical relief of the compositions. This album was released in France by La Baleine distrib and gave the band the opportunity to play more and in bigger venues all around France (Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Bordeaux, Rennes...)but also through Europe and even in China for a 8-show-tour in summer 2007!

Finneyerkes



















finneyerkes was actually born out of two tracks on Randy Yerkes' debut solo release, Glada. While the majority of the samples used on that album came from movies, two tracks ("Blues" and "Empire Of Ruin") instead featured the voice of Matt Finney. Randy met Matt, an unlikely poet, in Alabama when he moved away from the rest of Talent Sold Separately in 2005. The two did not create any music together while they both lived in the same place, but Randy developed an affinity for Matt's writing which led to his involvement with Moose Jaw a few years later. Musically, finneyerkes tends towards the mellower tones that Randy has to offer, building an appropriate soundscape for Matt's reflective, melancholic free verse. The music provides the room for the words to bounce around within before becoming unheard again. finneyerkes has been extremely productive since their formation in 2009, releasing two albums and a video single through Talent Sold Separately as well as an additional album through dotContemporary, and they show no signs of stopping anytime soon.

SOTATILA had some of the standouts on the Propaganda Is Hippies compilation LP, and the songs on this EP are every bit as intense. The music has a distinct mid-'80s Finnish hardcore sound that makes its cues from the classics, mostly notably MELLAKKA. Sung in the Finnish tongue, the urgent vocals push this over the top with the right amount of distortion and tactfully placed echo. This one pummels. (SE)"

In January, 2004 born a dream called THE EYES with a few ideas and a few very clear and marked way. From the beginning, Wero and Edgar (predecessors of the group) prepare to look for people ready to fulfill the above mentioned goals. In view of this step and after several concerts with very good reception with bands like Walls Of Jericho, Suffocation, Gorefest or High On Fire, they arrange in August of the same year to record his first LP (Pursuing The Misfortune), of which they obtain very good critiques after his tour along Europe and you change others for Spain. Immediately after this success, the idea arises, together with "La Semilla Del Diablo", of editing 7 " of versions of METALLICA and BLACK SABBATH. I agree after concert and after suffering some changes of formation, THE EYES stands firm at the end of 2007 to record what will be his second LP. It is at the time when the band suffers a strong blow on having remained without singer and battery, and one sees forced to stop his projection up to finding the persons mas indicated.

Re-arising from his ashes, in August, 2008 it begins the recording of what will be the new disc. Wero and Edgar (guitars), (bass) Christian, Michael (battery) and Jordi (vocals) give form to "INSIGNIS", which sees the light at the end of May, 2009 with KAIOWAS's unconditional support RECORDS (Roadrunner records Spain). There has come the hour of spending hundreds of hours in the van travelling, of giving everything in the concerts, and of presenting to the whole world what is The Eyes: INSIGNIS. Soon The Eyes will act in the Sonisphere of Barcelona together with Metallica, Machine Head, Slipknot, Lamb Of God between others and in other summers fests, DO NOT GET LOST THEM!!!!!

Human Side - I Hope The Exit Is Joyful (2009)


01. Own Life
02. My Rifle
03. To Limit Mind
04. A Keep Thinking
05.Symbolic Value



Country: France
Genre: Posthardcore, Screamo, Noise Rock.
Label: KDN

Après neuf ans d'existence et un seul maxi au compteur, voici que les Human Side débarquent tranquillement avec leur premier album sous le bras. Lapse, neuf titres de post-hardcore métallique doublé de quelques plans noise-rock qui font des ravages, le tout soigneusement emballé dans un digipack élégant, une plage CD-Rom (bien sympatique avec clip, images et autres bonus), un artwork qui ne suggère rien de très gai, mais un propos parfaitement maîtrisé, patiemment orchestré. Pour aiguiller l'auditeur, on dira que Human Side se situe à la convergence des influences d'un Botch qui aurait passé une soirée avec Unsane, pendant que Condense attendait dans la voiture.

Gros son métallique à la Breach, le groupe est d'une minutie extrême, affinant son alliage musical en le parsemant de nombreux petits détails qui font toute l'efficacité de l'ensemble. Hardcore chaotique mais parfaitement structuré, metal sulfurique, noise-rock oppressant, samples finement distillés, chant ou spoken word relativement en retrait, quelques interludes post-classiques au piano et violoncelle ("On high in blue tomorrows"), Human Side maîtrise le sujet et plus que ça, à des choses à dire. Un chant délibérement étouffé, à l'image de la pochette de Lapse, une poigne de fer qui cherche à entraver les mouvements d'une victime effrayée, accentuant sa pression physique sur un mental qui ne demande plus qu'à se laisser aller à céder aux faiblesses d'une âme trop longtemps torturée. Une lutte pour la survie, un duel à mort entre l'oppresseur et l'oppressé qui se traduit par un déferlement de violence, de coups portés pour mettre hors d'état de nuire l'adversaire. Chez Human Side, la douleur est insidieuse, la souffrance latente mais ne demande qu'à remonter à la surface pour éclater au grand jour ("I try to follow", "Imposing noise"). On pense variablement à Envy, Draft ou Will Haven mais le groupe parvient à se faire une petite place de choix en distillant une musique toute en rupture, tendue, lourde, écorchée vive mais qui prend le temps de varier ses ambiances. Sauvage et mesuré, mais toujours ouvragé avec un savoir-faire qui ne se dément pas, un disque aux deux visages...

Imaginen que son una joven banda inglesa -de Sheffield, para más señas- que gusta de revolver guitarras y sintetizadores definiendo un marco estético propio que tiene tanto que ver con el post-hardcore abrasa-laringes de The Locust o los primeros The Blood Brothers como con el mathcore de Botch o Dillinger Escape Plan, el casiocore de Trencher, o las progresiones ácidas y expansivas de unos The Mars Volta lanzados al desvarío instrumental. A la hora de elegir sujeto para que les produzca su segundo disco, ¿por quién optarían? Si fueran Rolo Tomassi elegirían a... ¿Diplo?

El quinteto de Sheffield han decidido viajar a la ciudad de Los Angeles para grabar la continuación de su celebrado Hysterics (Hassle, 08) a las órdenes del capo de Mad Decent, pope de esa otra electrónica de baile que gusta de atusarse los bajos frente al espejo del ritmo altermundista. Redoblando nuestra sorpresa, parece que fue el propio Diplo quien se aproximó a la banda durante una de sus actuaciones en el pasado SXSW de Texas, declarándose fan de su primer disco y expresando su deseo de trabajar con ellos en el futuro. Dicho y hecho. El disco resultante de esta extraña unión de hecho, aún gestándose estos días, verá la luz el próximo mes de marzo a través de Hassle Records.

This band from Olsztyn (with personal connections to UTOPIA) is around since quite many years, even released demo CD-R few years ago, but during all this time they had several personal/style changes. Now the line up is stable and they built their own sound - powerful, heavy and driving hardcorepunk with 2 guitars and mixed vocals leaded by strong and angry female voice. You can compare their sound to Tragedy, Wolfbrigade etc., but check mp3 to see its not just another clone neo-crust band.

Year: 2006
Country: Norway
Label: sm-musik

La casa Fantom is a two piece orchestra from the forest outside of Oslo in Norway. The band consist of Lars on drums and Bård on bass, both sing or at least trying to. Our band was formed in 2000 with a cheap crappy drumkit and a bass with selfmade distortion effects. Our name comes from a do it yourself wine kit which gives you 20 liter of redwine in 24 hours. It was just like our music, fast&dirty with a lot of nerves.We have been playing for 8 years now and had our first concert at Blitz in Oslo. We recorded our first demo in the livingroom of our collective in the forest, where we both lived for a time and Lars still lives. The album was made in two days with a kiddy drumkit and a 4-track tapemachine.

Then we upgraded a bit and recorded “Serum” in the same living room.Due to small space and our roommates not so happy about us rehearsing two times a week in the living room, we built our own studio "Iskremboden" in the winter 2002. Since then we have recorded and released three 7” ("Leter I mørket", "Familien" and "Cut") and three 12” ("La casa Fantom", "Ingen ny dag" and "Fredløs"), on our label “Iskrem Plater”. We also make festivals and have bands play concerts in Iskremboden. During these years we have had the luck of touring in 20 countries until now. We feel very lucky to be able to travel around like this and have made many friends that we still come back too see and that also visit us. We feel that this is one of the greatest things about touring in our scene.

There is no border between the bands and the audience and we share a lot of opinions about our lives and the envirement around us.Our music is difficult to describe, it has its roots in punk and hardcore but we have always been fans of taking from all the music we like and mix it in. Borders exists also in music and we always want to breake them. When we play live we like to give everything that the music expresses: the intensity, the aggression and the emotions.

Year: 2009
Country: USA
Genre: Indie rock
Label: Temporary Residence Ltd.

Esta banda estadounidense nace en San Diego, producto de dos corazones destrozados que continúan sangrando hasta el día de hoy, entregándonos con ello, buena música, buenas letras y sobre todo, generando el ambiente de nostalgia y melancolía, tal como si miráramos a través de una ventana en un día lluvioso.

En 1997, dos de los integrantes de “Three Mile Pilot”, Pall Jenkins (voz y guitarra) y Tobias Nathaniel (normalmente teclados, pianos y órganos), cayeron en una profunda depresión luego que sus dos novias respectivas los dejaran. Ambos (que además compartían casa) decidieron tomar un receso y dejar el grupo para formar un proyecto paralelo donde darían rienda suelta a todo su dolor, heridas y la violencia que este suceso habìa desencadenado en sus vidas. El nombre que eligieron para este proyecto fue “The Black Heart Processión” (uno de los nombres a mi gusto más sugerentes de un grupo musical: La Procesión del Corazón Negro). Luego se unieron al grupo Joe Plummer (batería) y Dimitri Dziensuwski. Más adelante, tocarían en las presentaciones en vivo músicos invitados, escondidos generalmente al igual que el grupo, bajo mascaras o tras una pantalla en blanco y negro.

Cuando en 1998 salió el primer disco titulado simplemente “One” en Cargo/Headhunter, con Jen Wood como artista invitada, ya comenzaba a notarse que el proyecto tenia vida propia. Un sonido nuevo, rock primitivo, casi gótico, tosco, con el dolor, la melancolía y porque no decirlo, el melodramatismo en los 10 tracks que componen el disco.

Decurs

A Barcelona and two charros, one of this and another across the Atlantic in 2006 gave way to this power-trio called Decurseable. They defined as "absurd extreme pop and disorderly" what is really a very peculiar way of understanding the closest to punk hardcore. Frantic pace, crazy lyrics and technical capacity hard to find in many other bands of the genre, often err on the side of attitude and aptitude deficit.

Decurs starts with the idea of not having any idea at all. As time goes by they find themselves playing with the only intention of almost not being capable to play what they're playing. Simple and complicated, that may be the idea. In March 2006 they record themselves a 6 song demo in cassette that they give to anyone that appears to be their friend, many refuse, some still keep it packaged. Determined to ruin their friend's lifes, later that year, they decide to record 4 songs in the Blaxound Studios and release them in vinyl in 2007 with help from themselves and their friends "Ojalä me muera recoords" (I wish I die) under the obvious title of "Sietepulgares" (Seveninches).

Today, major achievements of the band are: getting bad words from major music magazines, losing money and friends, meeting Valina and telling them they copied some part from St Petersburg Me Cannibal, and having many good times. Not bad yet.
