Aliento De Perro Más de 30 Años… LP

Villa Rosa’s group of four that’s been around for decades in the Argentinian punk rock scene delivers nine tracks of well-executed, mid-paced classic punk rock in less than sixteen minutes—anthemic and deeply felt, bursting with passion, existentialism, and love adventures, with a twist of nihilistic, gloomier humor and views. Punk rock poetry lessons from the barrio with uplifting but also laconic, melancholic features between the lyrics and music, as the whole album is a progression through feelings, experiences, and situations from touring, lovelife, and the regular course of living. The band replicates highly energetic live gigs with a deep connection with the audience, anthemic palm-muting, and sing-along encores, exuding attitude and feeling that creates a great atmosphere. Favorite tracks: “Antisocial,” “Montevideo Me Dicem” and “Nada de Nada.” Go pogo with them, highly recommended.
