Eskorbuto Anti Todo LP reissue
Reissue of a classic Euskara band’s classic record. In many ways, it’s pretty churlish of me to try and add to the big pile of discourse around this band and release. What more is there to say that hasn’t already been said? A pivotal band in the development of punk en Espanyol, and this is them in the midst of a clear purple patch. A step change from the ’77-inspired early material into arms-aloft, “whoa”-infused choruses for the ages. “Es Un Crimen” is surely in the pantheon of the greats by now. Unsure if we really need to add any more onto the big critical landfill surrounding this record, or indeed what the point is in remastering punk records in general, but if it encourages you to give this a listen, then do it.
