SINIESTRO TOTAL - Siniestro Total II (El Regreso) 1983

Second album by Siniestro Total from Vigo, recorded in October 1983 and released via DRO in November of that same year. Twenty-one mostly punk-heavy songs, with more versatility of the instruments which provide a lot more variety, and with the typical short show interludes the four keep the level consistently high and that you are welcome is shown by the sympathetic guy, Bob Hope, on the front cover, who greets you with a glass of milk. As with the first album, they still went from seriote politicking full of clichés and demagogies and were covered with grace, silly humor and Ramonian influence in parody and social satire. There is nothing wrong with the album, the music is crisp, the artwork is worth seeing, and twenty-one songs in good thirty-five minutes are promising. I think the weekend can start with that and what comes next will definitely keep the level in this theater or do you doubt it?

SINIESTRO TOTAL - ¿Cuándo Se Come Aquí? 1982

A band that I've been focusing on for a long time but never managed to post, but thanks to Fredrik, now with their debut album. Siniestro Total (meaning literally 'total write-off' as in the insurance term for a vehicle that is beyond repair following a motor accident) is a Galician punk rock group from Vigo, Spain. Founded in 1981 during the cultural movement called Movida viguesa by Julián Hernández, Alberto Torrado and Miguel Costas. After many changes in personnel, current members are Julián Hernández, Javier Soto, Óscar G. Avendaño, Ángel González and Jorge Beltrán. Their first album, ¿Cuándo se come aquí? (When Do We Eat?), features fifteen short songs, with a marked punk style. Soon their first concert in Madrid arrives, at the Marquee, with borrowed equipment. They play two days in a row, thanks to the support of Ordovás and the great acceptance of his songs there is a huge stir. In this regard, Julián affirms in Ordovás's book “Apocalypse with Grelos” (Antonio de Miguel, 1994) that “there was a mess and there were some terrifying hosts. A poor hippie, with long hair and beards, who was jumping in the middle of the room, they put a hand of hosts when we sang 'Matar Jipis En Las Cíes'”. It is then when DRO enters the scene and Servando Carballar (Aviador Dro) that he decides to record their first EP for them. Everything was so amateurish at the time that they didn't even sign a contract. They just agreed and celebrated at the bar next door. More than 5000 copies of his debut, “Ayudando A Los Enfermos” (DRO, 1982) were released. A few months later the first album was released, ¿Cuándo se Come Aquí? (DRO, 1982), recorded in just three days with an eight track. The one that was put together was even bigger. The first edition sells out after a few days and DRO cannot keep up with the demand. The repercussion of the band is increasing, and everything increases with the presentation in the Rockola on 10. January 1983. Since then they have released countless singles & albums, compilation contributions and are still alive.

V/A - Navidades Radioactivas 1983

This nice X-Mas compilation was released by the Spanish label DRO, mainly with releases of Spanish new wave groups, from pop to punk or industrial. (today, the DRO label is owned by Warner Music Spain, S.A.) The song selection on this LP goes exat in this direction. Each in its own way pretty charming and the versatility of this LP makes this interesting. I love this album and I'm sure you too. Highlights are Aviador Dro, TNT and Siniestro Total. Beautiful record, great rare Spanish synth/punk, a must have!!

V/A - Punk Que? Punk 1983

Often overlooked by English speaking Countries' record collectors, the Spanish early Punk Rock scene (1979-1983) was one of the most diverse, brightest & authentic of the Punk era in Europe. These bands were aggressive & melodic at the same time, and more influenced by the British scene than by their American counterparts. The fact that they almost all sing in Spanish, made these bands remain in obscurity everywhere, but Spain and Latin America. Punk Que? Punk is for specialized interests -- listeners who like Latin punk and Latin punk can be as powerful as it's English forefather, but it can also can be a little stylized and formulaic. For those interested in the genre, this comp is a good starting place.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Spain 1997

I finish the month of March with this pretty compilation of bands from Spain. In this country, we were happy to host and I can recommend anyone to visit this land. There's a lot historical to see, pleasant climate, people who talk like a machine gun, delicious food ... and finally cool music. Reliable and rare material from the early 80s is impressively cobbled together and for me one of the best Bloodstains records. I think no more than 500 copies were pressed - Anyway, sit back and enjoy!!!

KANGRENA - Terrorismo Sonoro EP 1983

Based in Barcelona are Kangrena and the four have only made in their short lifespan one 7Inch on Anarchi Rekords, and this sucker features five pieces of unique and irreproducible sound. The band was formed in 1981 by Kike (guitars), Johnny (bass) and Manolo (drums) while singer Quoque teamed up with them afterwards: He, uninvited, joined them up on stage for their version of "My Way" on a show in December that same year and was offered the vocalist's post. The name (a misspelling of the Spanish word for "gangrene"), was chosen because they wanted something that could be indentified with what they were doing. Or so they said in that interview for the Spanish fanzine "Melodias Destructoras." As for their influences, they said that musically it was the Sex Pistols sped up and Crass & Exploited lyrically. As for local influences, they expressed their like for Ultimo Resorte, Decibelios, R.I.P., Attak, Frenopaticss and some Siniestro Total stuff and their dislike for anything out of Madrid. They kept playing about once a month until their debut EP 'Terrorismo Sonoro' was released in 1983, some compilation appearances (mostly on tapes) followed and a seventeen track cassette called Estoc De Pus was released in 1984 and a second 'El Cubo De La Basura' a year later. Shortly thereafter the band broke up. Kangrena weren't famous for melodic songs, they are rough, untamed, undisciplined and uncompromising Hardcore that will blow your mind after several listens and more effective than any Aspirin, guaranteed!

V/A - Viva La Punk 1978-1988

Pretty cool compilation with the Créme de la Créme of early Spanish punk bands, most of them are well-known and acceptable to most palates.

V/A - Despues Del Holocausto-Una Ofensiva Musical 1983

I made some re-ups and I can tell you, write in the comment section should be a post down, I fix it asap. Now an interesting compilation which comes from DRO and on this record Punk meets Pop. A daring mix I think and very successful for me. Right away I can't think of a comparable combination, but Spanish music is multifaceted and I don't think the idea is bad at all, as it offers the opportunity to examine some bands more closely and thus gain more attention and Discos Radioactivos Organizados is a small independent label, founded 1982 in Madrid, which mainly releasing Spanish New Wave groups, from Pop to Punk or Industrial. Let yourself be enchanted by this varied slab and enjoy the sunny days.

V/A - Punk ¿Qué Punk? Vol.2 1994

DRO, an independent now-defunct spanish music label, released this compilation in 1994 and were famous with mainly lots of releases of Spanish new wave groups, from pop to punk to industrial. The label was bought in early 90's by East West, due to financial problems. It was by then a main stream label already. The label was founded in 1982, with the first release of Aviador Dro, a minimal electronic pop band from Madrid, Spain. And here they have released another highlight, perhaps the last useful publication, from the sunny south of Europe into the world, and it is a gem. 14 Spanish-Punk-Rock-Grade A. After Volume 1 has already been a killer follows with part two the essential sequel. The songs were recorded between 1983 - 1992 and again they show that Spain also had a colorful active underground scene. A colorful mix of all punk-styles can be heard and blessed are the makers...cooles Teil!

V/A - Killed By Death #100 1997

Und wenn ich schon die famosen Sampler vorher erwähnte hier the next round Killed By Death and this volume features international punk from 1975 - 1983. A lot of the records are postin' here and the rest safely elsewhere. 1.700 copies pressed in two batches of 850. The detectives did again a brilliant job, the song selection is excellent for my taste and released is this bootleg compilation again by Murder Records. Really good stuff and I grant full marks and that's really the last for today!
