La polla Records!

Hello everybody!

Today I want to talk you about other of my favourite musical group, that is called La Polla Records which were one of the first punk bands to sing in Spanish.

This group was formed in the Basque Country in 1979 for Evaristo, who now is the singer, Maleguin, that is the bass and Txarly and Sume, that play the guitar; but now there are new members in this group, that they are: Abel, who plays the bass guitar, Jokin, that is a guitarist and Fernandito, who played the drums, but he died of a heart attack in 2002 and had been change for Tripi, but then, the group didn't do any concert this year.

We can see that the genre of the music is as "Rock Radikal Vasco" (radical Basque rock) and have got influences about Ska, rock, ..., and their lyrics criticized the fascism, the capitalism and catholicism.

La Polla have extracted 17 albums, that they are: Y ahora qué? (1983), Salve (1984), Revolución (1985), No somos nada (1987), Donde se habla (1988), En directo (1988), Ellos dicen mierda nosotros amén (1990), Los jubilados (1990), Barman (1991), Negro (1992), Hoy es el, Futuro (1993), Bajo presión (1994), Carne para la picadora (1996), En tu recto (1998), Toda la puta vida igual (1999), Bocas (2001) and the last is El último (el) de La Polla (2003).

For me, some of the best songs are: Carne Pa' La Picadora, Johnny, No Somos Nada, Que Tururu Ay Que Tururu, Txus,...
