This Barcelona duo create more power with two people, one cymbal and two riffs than most bands can muster with a full arsenal at their disposal. After their show in Oakland earlier this month, a friend visiting from Europe came outside and just shook his head, "they are so terrible - all of the songs have the same beat and they all sound alike." And I was just thinking "yeah, I know....it was fukkn great." PIÑEN just drill those riffs into you, starting the tape (and the set) with "Comunicado Núm.1" chanting forcefully over three repeating chords for a full 45 seconds before the drums even join in. It's refreshing and energizing to see/hear a band deconstruct punk so completely, until nothing is left but the fury.
There's a few Mexico shows left on PIÑEN's US/MX tour, but I imagine Guadalajara and CDMX punks are already well aware....
