This is basic meat-and-potatoes ’77 punk from Spain. Although ESKORBUTO sound slike dozens of older bands, the vocalist is exceptionally belligerent and the songs contain more highly memorable choruses.
Standard ’77 punk. Spain’s LA UVI offer unexciting yet listenable material. Some of the lead breaks are cool, but overall this band needs a lot more energy to make in impression in 1983.
A raw garage punk record, and the first funnypunk release I’ve heard from Spain. Larsen boast a distorted, trebly guitar sound, a heavy rhythm section, a distinctive vocalist with a sarcastic “nyah, nyah” style, and real basic song structures. The abrasive “Vomitas Sangre” and the up-tempo “Nacido de la Pota de un Punk” strike the most responsive chords.
ESKORBUTO and R.I.P. share this slab of vinyl. The former has a chunky, mid-tempo punk assault with sing-along vocals and some nifty, unpredictable guitar portions. R.I.P. has a heavy semi-thrash style and equally catchy join-in choruses; they’ve included a better mix of the song that appeared on our 1984 compilation (“Anti-Militar”) along with their other three cuts. Recommended.
