My review of your record goes like this :CAPACES-AMPLIFIRED(CD-SONIC REDUCER RECORDS SRR 002)

Really wild music is it in the beginning because this group can really play fast. They donīt let us rest anything between the songs and itīs not much space between the songs either. Iīm maybe a little bit coloured of Martillos t-shirt where itīs written Zeke because itīs not so far away from their music but with a little bit more hardcore in the music. 14 sons in a tempo which gets even a used punkfan to wonder how they can sound so much but it feels like a really good energykick anyway….wild Spanish and itīs fun that itīs so many good punkbands around the world.
