Eskorbuto - Maldito País: Primera Época 1982-84 [2CD]

In Santurtzi, on the left bank of the Nervión estuary, a unique band was born: Eskorbuto. Iosu Expósito and Jualma Suarez lived in working class neighborhoods that had grown fast. Both Kabiezes and Mamariga were, in the '50s, mainly rural areas of Santurtzi. In the '60s, industrialization and rampant development transformed them into urban areas without any investment in urbanism. Some elements for the alchemy led to the explosion: intelligent young guys who were nevertheless incapable of adhering to school discipline, a country in full swing towards freedom after 40 years of dictatorship. It was a context very familiar with the turbulence of the "Basque conflict," with neighbors seduced by the "armed fight" and the "liberation of Euskal Herria," with the question of "identity" constantly present, traumatic episodes of killings, tortures and imprisonments. One day at the end of the '70s they decided to start a band. The first period of Eskorbuto's life, before the damage done by the needle became noticeable, was incredibly fruitful. They soon found a rehearsal space, thanks to their first drummer, and there the first songs were born. Iñaki Laiseka played bass for them, and that role was also taken by "Seni" and "Garlopa", two precursors of "left bank" punk that played some gigs with them. Later on they found Paco Galán, who also came from a similar neighborhood to theirs (Repélega, in Portugalete). Paco always was the necessary engine, the piece around which the rest revolved, which guaranteed continuity. His drumming also added an apparently chaotic element to the already unbridled guitar melodies and visionary texts, halfway between dirty realism and Edgar Allan Poe's nightmares. These recordings are taken from those early times of excitement and vertigo, of journeys to Madrid under a train's seat and endless trips up and down the left bank looking for "someone that I've heard is selling an amp". Now the Reina Sofía Museum exhibits their Impuesto Revolucionario LP and there's no Spanish speaking country without legions of fans. Sesiones Primer Single 1.01. Maldito País 1.02.
