28 ESCUPITAJOS - Difundiendo Valores Formando Personas - LP+CD

28 Escupitajos are from Bilbao. But not from that cardboard-like Bilbao prefabricated for the joy of tourists. They come from the side that is not shown in the postcards, the one without hotels, museums or trendy restaurants. They do punk-rock, having 1977 as reference and adding a pinch of classic Oi! and hard-core speed. And they are real. Their rhetoric shows the snapshots you won’t find in the tourism office.

28 Escupitajos are from Bilbao but not from the cardboard-like Bilbao prefabricated for the joy of tourists and for the pockets of a few business men. They come from the side that is not shown in the postcards, the one without hotels, museums or trendy restaurants. They met at the studios of the free radio station Irola Irratia and started rehearsing in a former slaughterhouse transformed into a self-managed cultural association.

28 Escupitajos do punk rock. The bands first songs are speedy, very speedy. Covers of Slaughter & The Dogs, 999, Eddie & The Hot Rods, 4-Skins, Infa-Riot or o Rich Kids. They have 1977 as reference but with a pinch of classic Oi! and hard-core speed. With these ingredients they performed their first gigs, brief, edgy, direct. And faithful to that same pattern they produced their first own-penned compositions that are now contained in this record.

28 Escupitajos are real. Their rhetoric shows the snapshots you won’t find in the tourism office. Because no public body will praise the long-standing alternative information and musical work of “Irola Irratia”, not even ”ETB”, the establishment public media. They remember the shameful eviction of Kukutza squatter house in “Terror en Bilbao” and the kidnapping of truth that alters reality and creates “Too Much Hate”. And the need that informers, scabs and racists of a city that could be yours to be pointed out. Even "Perro Sátiro" (Lecher Dog) comes from a real story as well as "Españoles" (Spaniards) a direct attack to the most rancid sector of the Spanish nationalism. They are as sincere as they can be adding a noble social advice:  "Apártense" (Get Out of The Way).

28 Escupitajos. Punk-rock in pure state.
