Now they're back with a taster song for album number 3. It'll be released by Slovenly Recordings on March 6th and titled Gran Pantalla. Translating as Big Screen it'll deal with the amount of surveillance in modern day society. Our lives are largely lived out on screen. Cameras are everywhere. It's a theme with plenty of scope for discussion and add a bunch of tunes that will no doubt have the critics throwing around the usual Buzzcocks comparisons (though am I alone on hearing a bit of The Wedding Present type guitar work on this new song?). I'm sure it'll be an album worth waiting for. You can find more info here : https://www.facebook.com/biznagapop/
This is the first single from the album, I've no idea what the lyrics translate as but that doesn't spoil the enjoyment of a song that starts strongly before building up into a joyfully upbeat crescendo of an ending. It's called 2k20...
Some of the best new punk music being released at the moment is emanating from Madrid. Accidente and Rata Negra have featured recently and today I'll be showcasing Biznaga.
Forming in 2011, Biznaga feature Alvaro Garcia (vocals/guitar), Jorge Navarro (bass/backing vocals), Pablo Garnelo (guitar/backing vocals) and Jorge Martinez (Milky) (drums). Introducing themselves in 2012 with a demo ep, they then released a self titled ep the following year before releasing debut full length Centro Dramatico Nacional (2014). You can find those releases here : https://biznaga.bandcamp.com/
Fast forward to the present day and Slovenly Records have just released their new album, it's titled Sentido del Espectaculo (Sense Of Spectacle) and it's already looking as though it'll be featuring highly in my best of 2017 list.

I played the following song on last night's Just Some Punk Songs show (http://mixlr.com/just-some-punk-songs/showreel/just-some-punk-songs-230117/) and it went down well in the chatroom. From the new album, this is catchy as hell and should be checked out immediately. Una Ciudad Cualquiera (Any City) ....
¿Ves a esos tipos de la esquina? Ellos te consiguen todo lo que pidas La soledad es una hermandad El único amor posible Fosas comunes, hileras de bloques Gatos callejeros batiéndose el cobre
Una ciudad tan buena… Para morir como otra cualquiera. Una ciudad cualquiera para morir
La chusma enlatada en vagones Arrastra su cruz al amanecer Borrachos llorando entre coches Empuñan armas al revés Predadores de noche, ejecutivos de día Y la policía perdonándote la vida
Una ciudad tan buena… Para morir como otra cualquiera. Una ciudad cualquiera para morir
Do you see those guys on the corner? They will get you everything you ask for. Loneliness is a brotherhood The only possible love mass graves , rows of blocks Stray cats working hard to get by
Such a good city ... To die like any other else. Any city to die at
Canned riffraffs in wagons Drag their cross at sunrise Crying drunks between cars Gripping weapons backwards Predators at night, executives during daytime And the police sparing your life
Such a good city ... To die like any other else. Any city to die at
