Doble Fuerza
1987
A journey, in 16 tracks, through the career of this pioneer band of the Latin American Punk 'n' Roll scene, active since
1987 and founded in the city of Quilmes (Argentina). Punk 77, Street Punk and Punk 'n' Roll on glorious vinyl and for
the first time in Europe.
Doble Fuerza is a pioneering band of the Latin American punk 'n' roll scene that has been active since 1987 (hence the
title of the LP). Founded in the city of Quilmes (Argentina), south of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, they have
built their own recognizable sound, influenced by punk 77, street punk and punk 'n' roll.
For the first time in Europe, on a long-playing record, on glorious vinyl, 16 tracks that represent a detailed tour
through Doble Fuerza's 35-year career, remastered for the occasion. The result is most entertaining and activating.
Primitive sonorities of angry young men doing street-punk without concessions in "Disturbios" [Riots] and "La Vida Se
Va" [Life Goes], give way to heartfelt street love in a hard-power-pop vein ("¿Por Qué No Me Llamas?" [Why Don't You
Call Me?], "Encontrarte" [Find You], "Sola" [Alone]) and Ramonesian essences in "Desocupado" [Unemployed].
And all of this leads to their personal punk 'n' roll sound with a Buenos Aires accent, i.e. punk-rock clearly
influenced by punk 77 and the rock 'n' roll of the 50s and 60s. In "Leave Me Alone", "Anestesiado" [Anaesthetised],
"Grito de Revolución" [Revolution Yell], "Almas Gemelas" [Twin Souls] and "Canción de Libertad" [Song of Revolution] you
can sense some of the many bands of the three decades that are part of their wide musical background and that have
served as teachers to forge their style.
Nor do they forget the cheerful tavern hymns to sing loudly and to overcome the struggle and heartbreaks with good
humor, "Otra Vuelta de Cerveza" [Another Round of Beer] and "El Rey del Fernet" [The King of Fernet].
The three covers of this collection deserve special mention. Three adaptations sung in Spanish that the quintet led by
Hugo Irisarri makes totally their own: "Pibes de Barrio" (Cockney Rejects), "Laburando" (Cock Sparrer) and "Spanish
Bombs" (The Clash).
The accent may be different, but the situations, the sound references, the messages... become immediately familiar and
recognizable. "1987" is a careful presentation letter on this side of the pond of the Argentinean band's wide repertoire
that unites commitment, fun and enthusiasm in equal parts.
