Cardenales Antipunkpop cassette
Stylistically minimal feminist punk from Madrid that mixes the sounds of classic street punk anthems with indie pop melodies, like HONEY BANE meets CHIN CHIN. The Spanish lyrics poetically explore political themes via dark but hopeful personal sketches, occasionally delivered by call-and-response vocals. Moody bass lines and clean guitars on tracks like “Sangre” and “Fin del Mundo” evoke a post-punk atmosphere, but CARDENALES do fast punk just as well on “Golpe tras Golpe.” Equally interesting is Uterzine, who released the tape and look like a solid resource for anarcho-feminist writing and music, particularly in Spain.
