Here I am again, and life takes its toll, so there's not much new here, but I guess you've browsed the blog and found plenty of good ingredients for survival. Today we're visiting a beautiful country that I visited last year and meet Xutos & Pontapés, along with UHF, they are considered one of the most well-known Portuguese bands and can look back on a career spanning over forty years. Although they have retained some Punk influences (earlier albums) over the years, their style has essentially remained the same: their own brand of decent Rock. This is their third 7Inch (came also as 12inch with the short version) on Fundação Atlântica with two cool numbers. This beauty is a fascinating piece of Portuguese rock history that will appeal to both fans of the band and new listeners. Active since the late Seventies, the band has established a firm foothold in the Portuguese music scene, and this release is another example of their talent and consistency. "Remar, Remar" offers a powerful blend of catchy melodies and dynamic rhythms, typical of Xutos & Pontapés' style. The guitar riffs are energetic, giving the track an infectious vitality. The singer's voice is full of passion and conveys the song's message with impressive intensity. The lyrics are profound and thought-provoking, reinforcing the emotional connection to the music. The single itself is a beautiful collector's item. The cover design is simple and reflects the band's character. The physical form of the record brings a nostalgic feeling that is often lost in today's digital music landscape. It's a pleasure to put the record on and experience the warm sound of the analog recording. Overall, a strong work and a wonderful reminder of why the band is one of the most influential in the country. If you want to escape from Punkrock sound and need some "relaxing" music, for example for cooking or other things, you should listen to this music, as I will do later.
