***REISSUED!!! New domestic issue. Originally released by Drunken Sailor in the UK. "'What if Blitz hailed from Los Angeles and sang in Spanish’ isn’t a question you hear all that often. Fortunately, we don’t need to ask - the answer is provided by Generacion Suicida’s latest album, which rages and rattles in all the right places, drenched in the memorable brilliance that powered the Killed By Death compilations (ask yer dad - and if he doesn’t know or care, burn his terrible records and make some space to track down the KBD LPs). The band’s slogan is ‘musica del barrio, para el barrio’ - music from the neighbourhood, for the neighbourhood - but it sounds like they could use these hooks to take on the world. That’s a pretty accurate sentiment as well, because this album was written during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, while the world bubbled over with carefully managed misinformation, police violence and the sickening overspill of white supremacy’s foul brew. If Regeneracion sounds potent, it’s because there was a lot to be angry about, and the result is arguably their best album yet. Those chorused-out guitar lines carry shades of deathrock, hints of Manchester circa 1980, elements of something you might call goth if it was several degrees less furious. But there’s no doomed romance to this music; it’s an all-out attack. Street punk with the smarts turned up and an ear turned to the lessons learned from post-punk (but crucially, not the ‘post-punk revival’ that...

***Reissue of their 2013 Debut album. PNV is making this must have album of amazing impassioned, tuneful Spanish-language punk KBD style punk available once again. The album has been ‘Out-of-Print’ since 2018. The band just released their 5th LP in 2022. One of the most consistently hard-working bands on the punk scene today, they play live all the time and tour constantly. 2011 demo tracks added as a bonus. For those that don’t know who they are, the band started out in 2010 in South-Central L.A. and have released 5 studio albums, along with countless EPs and Live Tapes. "A big part of punk rock's appeal is geographic. Commercial music sounds like AnyMall, but The Gun Club sound like Hollywood, Black Flag sounds like Huntington Beach, and Francis Harold and the Holograms sound like Bisbee, Arizona. East LA seeps from every note of GENERACION SUICIDA’s new album; this music couldn't be from anywhere else. The Plugz and the Gears may have got there first, but play Con La Muerte a Tu Lado loud and you can see Cesar Chavez Blvd, 2013. This is the kind of punk rock that values a certain kind traditional musicality, like the Sex Pistols, The Adverts, The New York Dolls, and the Damned. Not virtuosity here, just the belief that rock and roll still has power, and that a really angry lyric and a Chuck Berry chord change can change the world, or at least your next 3 minutes. Generacion Suicida are proof that the...

***BACK IN STOCK!!! The fourth LP from Los Angeles-based GENERACION SUICIDA. Not often does a bands fourth album yield as much power or importance as this album does, especially in punk music. It's hard to make a second record as viable as your first but Reflejos defies all odds. This is easily the band's best record yet. No new tricks, no artsy weirdo tracks, it's all Generacion Suicida. Love them or hate them, this is a band at the top of their game. Eleven tracks, heavy printed inner sleeve, matte cover, pura potencia.

***PNV Records brings you another slice of essential Southern California PUNK. A reissue of their 2014 studio full length album. PNV is making this out of print must have album of amazing impassioned, tuneful Spanish-language punk KBD style punk. Loaded with intense catchy, sped-up, undistorted melodic punk steeped with a hardcore urgency. Their hyper-driven’ ‘77 punk, accented by surfy guitar melodies and fierce lead-vocals of vocalist / guitarist Tony (ex-Rayos X and Ekolalia), combined with the female backing vocals of drummer Kiwi are genuinely genius!
