Revolución X Revolución Permanente: Discografía 1994–1996 LP

A complete discography of one of the most important Spanish hardcore bands from the ’90s Zapatista movement. It’s perfect raw and political hardcore crafted to be used as a weapon in the face of oppression. Given the recent rise in fascism across the globe, this release couldn’t have been timed more perfectly. It comes correct with all their recorded output, a live show from El Paso, and copies of old gig flyers. I could make comparisons to the obvious LOS CRUDOS or MASSACRE 68, and such comparisons would be accurate but would not do them the justice they deserve. They were instrumental in bridging the Mexican and American punk scenes of the early ’90s, and it’s about time this saw a proper reissue. Listen to “I’m Making My Future With the Border Patrol” followed by “Alto Al Bloqueo De Cuba” and you’ll understand what I’m raving about. If you listen to this record and it doesn’t light a fire under your ass, what will? Records like this make me want to fight. Fuck ICE forever. Highly recommended.
