“The 23 births are always upright and now powerless.” Does youth and rebellion last until the age of 23? How old are you?

Most of the team is around 30 years old. With age, people change a lot, they do anything for the sake of their health and change their ideology. We started the band seven years ago, but we are still young and rebellious, we have the same convictions.

Do the “Reds, Occupiers, Immigrants and Independentists” of Baztan have a future?

Oh, yeah, yeah. A few years ago there were more and more immigrants and independentists here, and a youth center was opened a few years ago in Elizondo. So far this area has been very quiet, but slowly it has begun to change. When the Ufestus started there were almost no musical groups, and today there are a lot of them.

The 1980s left a huge mark on you.

Yes, although each of our songs has a story, we believe that several albums from the 80s have not lost any relevance in music and words. Some people say that this music is old, but it doesn’t matter. Music makes us feel something. There are groups that don’t really believe in what they do, but we couldn’t do it.

“I masturbate a lot, I’m not a pervert, it’s normal because I’m Basque.” It's unusual for a group here to sing such explicit words...

We've been told everything about that song. Some see if it's not too macho, and others don't... I think it’s a matter of interpretation. A friend wrote it from the perspective of a desperate boyfriend. A lot of guys will think so, which doesn't mean that girls are machines for sex. We think it’s healthy to bring things like this out because we walk around like taboos. Anyway, maybe on the next album we can try to write a song like this from the perspective of the girls.
