El Mascarat

Interterror Interterror LP reissue

A reissue of seminal Spanish punkers INTERTERROR’s 1985 LP; this release tacks on one additional track from the original recording session that was previously unreleased. With nine songs sung in their native tongue, the band tackles serious subjects like suicide and the Holocaust while maintaining an upbeat and melodic sound with sing-along choruses.

Regimiento Spansul Sorpresas en el Barro EP

A short-lived unit out of early 1980s Valencia, REGIMIENTO SPANSUL left only the four tracks on this 7” behind as evidence of their rowdy little run. The sounds here range from spirited first-wave inspiration (“Haciendo Surf en Marte”) to prickly and groovy post-punk (“La Ejecución”). If you’ve been itching for some catchy and obscure Spanish nuggets, pick up this EP and consider yourself scratched.
