La URSS

La URSS is a current melodic punk band from the Andalusian region of Spain.  The sound is infectious and melancholic, almost dark in a Wipers way, but with tenacious, scrappy vocals.  More modern bands like Neon Piss and Masshysteri aren't a bad reference, as well as first wave Los Angeles bands like the Plugz or the Dils.  This style of music is all about songwriting, and La URSS succeed!  "La Gran Caida" is my favorite song.  Download their records and pay what you want.

Generacion Suicida pt. 2

Back. No fanfare. I'm gonna do some bandcamp linkin' and take advantage of others' upload efforts.  I also feel like focusing (a little) more on music that's slightly more happening and relevant, if you will.

One of my favorite current bands is Generacion Suicida from Los Angeles. They take a worn out sound and make it sound new and their own. Really great and catchy punk rock.  They're playing Latino Punk Fest in New York this August, which has an incredible line-up and I suggest you consider going.

All Generacion Suicida's releases are available on their bancamp page for whatever amount you wish to pay for it, including 0 dollars.  No reason not to check it out, but do consider tossing them some dollars.
