It’s an album we recorded in prison that made it difficult to produce and meet musicians. He talks a little about how bony the order we are subject to is, which leads us to this kind of incarceration, not to mention that no one questions it. We try to communicate our ideas when someone feels identified with them. It is guided by the urgency of the situation, by expressing our view of what is happening. This is an urgent recording made quickly and without much brainstorming. At first, we were releasing singles about the topics that were on the table.

too much evil rock and roll.

Independent, independent or fashionable?

in my opinion in art and music Independence is an indispensable value. Any artistic or intellectual manifestation that does not consist of the independence of one’s own opinion has no validity, it is only propaganda. It is positive that it has become fashionable. Anyone who contributes to the cultural landscape should do so regardless of being conditioned by economy or power.

I was excited. He and Alizzz played it for me as soon as I finished recording and I loved it. It sounds very good to me. I also really like that young people save these types of songs. This is a very dark and difficult song of impossible love and complicated situations.

What can the people of Majorca expect from this appointment? Planets?

let’s do one concert the darkest and purest rock and roll that can be found right now. We have an accumulated repertoire that allows us to present a very dynamic concert. You will love it.
