Motocross - Motocross Ep


El primer EP de los desparecidos Motocross, posteriormente reconvertidos en Camión. Se echa de menos su rock and roll y sus conciertos absolutamente brutales. Qué viva la nostalgia.

Clorox Girls - this dimension


Un disco de estos que se podrían llamar imprescindibles!

The Clorox Girls don't currently have any female members or a compelling interest in bleach, but they do have a knack for writing and playing hooky, high-energy punk-pop that's earned them a loyal and growing fan following in the United States, Europe, and South America. The Clorox Girls were formed in 2003 in Oakland, CA, when guitarist and singer Justin Maurer met drummer Clay Silva while both were both living in a punk rock squat mostly populated by doom-struck crust punks. Tired of the gloomy and abrasive music they were hearing day and night, Justin and Clay decided to form a band that paid homage … » Read more

Imelda Clabby - No Turning Back


Ya nos sorprendimos con el gran "Love Tatoo", que en cierta parte ha logrado un notorio éxito. Pues seguimos sorprendiéndonos con este disco anterior a tener el apellido May. De un carácter algo más blues no deja de tener grandes temas. Un disco a tener muy en cuenta.

The Shame Idols - rocket cat


A lot of power-pop records were released in the nineties, but not many manage to emphasize the "pop" end of that formula as well as Rocket Cat does -- on this record, the Shame Idols take their big rock sound and pack it with so many bouncy 60s-pop constructions and sing-song hooks that one can't help but love it. It's as if your average power-pop band is covering tracks by the Monkees -- even the group's biggest turns toward conventionally punky modernity ("Endora") just wind up sounding like particularly good Weezer tunes. All of which makes for an incredibly appealing record for everyone who's ever loved big, crunchy pop.

Bangles - first EP


Algunos pensarán que me he vuelto loco, pero las bangles antes de toda esa morralla que hicieron molaban. Sí, molaban, y mucho. Sobre todo este primer EP, en el que sacan toda su vena garajera. Es todo un gustazo escuchar temas como "real world", en el que las tonalidades sonoras de sus voces son toda una delicia.

Reverend Horton Heat - We three kings (christmas favorites) (2005)

El mejor disco de canciones navideñas, mucho mejor que los discos de villancicos cantados por gatos y perros, dónde vamos a parar.

Sons & Daughters - this gift (2008)

Glasgow's Sons and Daughters don't follow the indie pop formula made famous by their counterparts (Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura). Adele Bethel, David Gow, Scott Paterson, and Ailidh Lennon, who formed the group in 2001, compose a roughcast folk-rock sound similar to the likes of Smog and Cat Power. Prior to getting together, Bethel (guitar) and Gow (drums) toured and recorded with the Zephyrs and Arab Strap. Paterson (guitar/bass) chiefed March of Dimes for a short time while Lennon (mandolin/bass) studied classical composition at a University nearby. In 2002, Sons and Daughters self-released The Lovers EP. Love the Cup, an intriguing homage to Johnny Cash, followed a year later. In 2005, Sons and Daughters issued their studio full-length, The Repulsion Box. With the help of producer Bernard Butler, the band released their most fully-realised album to date in 2008, This Gift.
