CRISE TOTAL - E A Crise Continua 1996

Another example here, this band needs more than ten years to put out a record and the reason why I honestly can't understand because this music kicks every stupid asshole and if I had a label these times I would take it immediately. Crise Total (Total Crisis) were formed in 1983 in two Lisbon suburbs (Algueirao & Portela), they were pioneers of the Hardcore/Punk movement in Portugal along with bands like Mata-Ratos/Ku de Judas/Cagalhoes/etc. they just had 25thaniversary & still going strong! The first line-up included Manolo (voice), John Philip (drums), Rui Ramos (guitar) and Paul Vial (bass). From the start they're at home in the early british and american 80's Hardcore sound, rough, fast and angry, although after six years it turned into a bit more post-punkish thing which saw the band changing their name. Their first song onto vinyl was on the great Ao Vivo No Rock Rendez Vous Em compilation from 1984. They were also present on a few tape comps and on the 1989 Tour De Farce #3 record. They had several line-ups but most of the time and recently the dynamic duo Manolo and Rui."They celebrated 25 years of Crise Total and since then the band has continued to gig every time its possible since Manolo lives in the U.K. these days,the begining of next year they are getting together to record a new album or maybe a split...ahhh, also when they had they're 25th aniversary a live cd was put out in form of celebration with some of the old recordings from the '80's...this is the short version bio and for now we know that that the crisis does continue, for how long we don't know but thats the way things are." (Manolo '09). E A Crise Continua is the debut record, released on Fast'n'Loud Records and full with sixteen crisis-proof songs. Hossa!!!
