Ignorantes

***The first in a series of reissues of their material on General Speech. Ignorantes started in Chile over 10 years ago, and during that time their sound has grown to feel more and more timeless. Credited with reinvigorating punk in South America, kicking off the rejuvenation worldwide of catchy pogo punk that is raw, but loses none of the danceability. “Tupa-Tupa”, as it’s been called, named from the unique 1-2-1-2 drum sound contained within many classic punk bands from South America and Mexico that is irresistible to punks on the dance floor, which Ignorantes has shown a spotlight on for the rest of the world to appreciate. A modern classic taking equal influence from UK greats like Chaos UK, Chaotic Dischord, and Disorder, Japanese punk like Gai and Swankys, and South American classics like Pestes or Mutantex from Colombia, but always maintaining a sound that feels original and distinctly like Ignorantes.
