Punk was devoured by shopping malls, at least in sight, and children wearing Ramones t-shirt purchased by their parents do not know it is the name of a musical group (not even some parents). The punk rock-and-roll and high-energy, which had the ability to make anyone nervous, has also lost the nerve. Few surprises can be found in these scenarios; everything is seen and although those who had it hold it – who have it in their blood – the others are not led by indifference, imagination and audacity, nor dazzle or dazzle their listeners.

With all this in life (and already boring), just two years ago three people came together who have worked with different approaches in the punk rock: Eneko Gitarra, who acted in predecessor groups such as teen Dogs or New Catolic Catechism; Urko was in charge of shaking and crushing sticks in the most imaginative Dirty Pink Ladies; and Txiki, a bassist swimming between punk and hard rock 77 in groups such as Plan B or Muturbeltz. They wanted to work rock, melody -- different sensations, otherwise. And finally, he found a Txema that had seldom gone up on stage, becoming a singer and an irreplaceable frontman. With Txema you cannot negotiate: In the 1960s, the power-pop and, above all, the cebe, must be mastered.

Thus, they began to compose songs and write words and melodies that have a characteristic spirit of the time, absolutely vintages but which Txema embodies naturally. And all this well protected by a strong clothing and (punk)rockera.

They only have two singles (or EP), but rock enthusiasts are dazzled. Recorded in the study Circo Perroti by Doctor Explosion, directed by Jorge. Albums Bloody Mary has released Chelsea boots: the song of the same name has a powerful punk base, the guitar the insolence of New York Dolls and the voice of Txema has a touch of ye-ye and an almost Argentine bacillus. Traveling in area B is darker, with more reverb and reflected in the few 1960s, but it has a way of singing dragged by the reptile. Circle the two! Pínchalon, edited by Folc records, is a more playful piece of the same name and also drinks from punk of 77, it is very sticky. When turning around, Happiness is as intimate as it is innocent: It occupies the patterns of the garage piece of the 1960s, with psychedelia, movement of eyebrows and firm drums. Txema brings vitality, authenticity, its own style and humor to the group; and the rest, strength and energy. Their concerts are spectacular.
