Absurdo review!

Absurdo
Genre: Hardcore
Label: D.I.Y motherfucker!


Absurdo are a Spanish  band that play fast, nasty hardcore with tons of hooks and very clean guitars. I was able to get a hold of their 2010 demo tape and it does not disappoint. The sound of each instrument is surprisingly clean, but the songs are structured to sound very fast and angry. I do not speak Spanish, so I cannot tell you what the lyrics are about, but the vocals are so spitting, phleming, youthful, and nasty that I can only assume that the vocalist is discussing the ways in which he would most want to destroy your face

The level of musicianship is also surprisingly good. Many hardcore bands seem to take pride in their purposefully shitty playing, but Absurdo can clearly play their instruments and they will let you know. Although each song is simple, they contain very melodic parts. The songs very from  fast to the point of absurdity (Rota) to mid-paced (Muenstros de Hierro).

Look, guys. You have no reason to not go out and get this. Buy it from the band, steal it from a friend, I don't care. Just get it. It is amazing. For fans of  Bad Brains, The Refused, and The Ramones.
