Aŕesi Aurrera Beti 12″

I’ll be the first to admit that my knowledge of the Basque language leaves much to be desired, which is an enormous shame since Mendeku Diskak has been instrumental in spotlighting what continues to be a verdant and fertile scene of top-notch punk. AŔESI is no different, having already impressed with a few potted releases, and now a full(er)-length 12”. A potent mix of rock’n’Oi! which has a nod to BLITZ and some of the more rockin’ CROWN COURT tunes to boot(boy). It really is impressive to write such compelling sing-alongs in a language I can’t speak, let alone shout along to. And yet I do.

I’m not sure what’s in the water of the Bay of Biscay, but Bermeo has once again produced another belter of a band in AŔESI. If you like you like their fellow compatriots STA. CRUZ or REVERTT, you’ll be on board with this—good ol’ fashioned skinhead rock’n’roll and catchy as fuck. Excited for more from this mob.
