The guitars, man...it's all about the fukkn guitars. A sharp and clean staccato attack, like '80s Italian hardcore playing Oi, but they are singing in Spanish and this shit is from Los Angeles. DRAPETOMANIA is the latest installment from the Silenzio Statico label, and if there was any doubt left as to the impact these kids are making on punks around the world (and I cannot imagine that there is a shred of doubt remaining), then one listen to "Cicatris" should erase it completely. A killer South American twist on UK82 punk rock - fukkn great of course, enjoy.

fucking perfect! this is as good and urgent sounding as the first 3 tapes from the label.
what a great demo! vocals have this 80s brazilian HC thing going. yeah, the guitars def sound italian.. NEVeer heard of Pestes before this THANKZ
the name is great. DRAPETOMANIA means the disease that causes slaves to run off. oh made-up 1800's diseases!
Vocals make me remember Los Restos from medellin. Que chimba de kazeto mijo.
picked up this tape a while ago on a whim and fuckin love it. I kneeled down to tie my shoe and saw a flyer with their name on it and nearly exploded. they are coming to Oakland. yes!
Do you happen to have the 'Cabezas de Odio' tape? I can't seem to find it anywhere...
