Alerta Roja: Algo Est Cambiando… y Muy Violentamente 12″

Description

Argentinean punk recordings from the years 1982-1986. ALERTA ROJA existed and survived under the nose of a violent and oppressive military dictatorship. The band played gigs in Buenos Aires in the early 80s, giving a voice to a generation of angry Latin American youth. After so many years, these seventeen tracks are finally getting a proper vinyl release under the name Something Is ChangingAnd Very Violently. Alerta Rojas influences pulled from music that managed to cross the ocean and fall into the hands of its membersone might hear The Clash, Pistols, or Wire seeping from the groves, but dont be surprised if you get a small dose of The Cure or Joy Division as you listen to this gem. Alongside as other amazing bands from South America (Perus Leuzemia, Zcuela Cerrada, G3, or Uruguays Los Invasores), Alerta Roja reaffirms that despite the conditions and lack of resources, these nations produced some amazing punk music/attitude. QUE VIVA EL PUNK LATINO AMERICANO!!!!!! QUE VIVA ALERTA ROJA!!!!
