...one more quick one for the night. Las Otras are a truly brilliant band from Barcelona, featuring at least one member of the equally amazing Crosta (who toured the UK some time ago and played a blinding set when we put them on with Absurdo at the Cowley Club in Brighton....but I digress). I just finished reading the Las Otras interview in issue #363 of MRR (August 2013) on my commute to work this morning and was very inspired to see a punk band, despite some of them being relatively young, proudly, unashamedly, sincerely and intelligently proclaim to be anarchists. That might not always have been that rare, but in a day and age where the wider scene seems to be somewhat overflowing with "punks" who are either already "jaded" despite not even having left their teenage years behind or with those who have not (yet) grasped there was once a community with radical ideas underpinning that noise they proclaim to love....I am hopeful proper punk bands like Las Otras can help shift the balance back a little.
Intelectual (sic) punks?! Yes, please.
