ZARAMA - Indarrez (Por La Fuerza) 1984

Debut album by this combo from Spain on Discos Suicidas and Zarama were formed 1977 and band, spearheaded by Roberto Moso, got together at Santurze and combining for the first time punkrock and Basque language, a cultural mingling fraught with difficulties at the time. After its first steps during a period in which local punk music cohabited in the Basque Country with socio-political turmoil and violence, the band transitioned towards more sophisticated and cleaner sounds and more personal lyrics, especially after 1989. It made a comeback in 2009, following a hiatus of several years. By then, it had released five albums and two EPs. Indarrez was recorded by Roberto (vocals), Txus (guitars), Xabier (bass) and Ernesto (drums) and originally, the album was going to be recorded at the PAN BOT Studios, Bilbao, but given the little experience of the sound engineer with whom they worked, they desisted from that place. Soon, their producer Ángel Altolagirre, who also worked with Alaska and Dinarama, convinced them to go to the Tsunami Studios in San Sebastian. To be the first album of the group, the sound is very varied in terms of genres, ranging from punk, rock and new wave music of that time. Also on this album two songs were re-recorded: "Bildur Naiz" which was the group's first recorded song and "Zaramaren Erdian". It is worth mentioning that "Kazaia Kopa Eta Porno Gogorra" was reused on the basis of "Dena Niretzat", originally recorded in 1981.
