TÀRREGA 91 - Ckaos Total

I take punk album lyrics very seriously, and I enjoy reading an insert full of phrases that somehow make me think. In fact, with this obsession with lyrics, I tend to err on the side of writing overly convoluted lyrics. I'm always surprised when an album has lyrics that are just one line, and even more so when those lines aren't just boastful talk but also can be a direct and effective political shot. In Ckaos Total, the punks from TÀRREGA 91 have managed to synthesize concepts in their minimal expression. Between cries against war ("bombes que cauen, i no a casa teva" [bombs that fall, and they don’t fall over your house]]) and for the destruction of the capitalist world (ckaos total!), a d-beat machine blasts into your ears. It doesn't matter how fast they play, because it's always unstoppable. An excellent recording with a sober, old-school style, without special effects, trailing behind them the long shadow of DISCHARGE and MG-15. TÀRREGA 91 have consolidated the sound they released on their debut EP (Fill de la Merda, 2023, La Vida Es Un Mus). Take the opportunity to listen to one of the few Catalan-language punk bands, a gem from the interior of Catalonia.
