Times are thankfully changing in the music industry. We can now expect good bands not only to emerge from the obvious places they've always come from, but also..., If globalization has been good for anything, It's so that in lesser-known places like rock cities, such as Mendoza, Argentina, Let four girls come out ready to kick the most obvious molds of punk and make the genre as fun as it was in those days when it was born. They are called The Ex And they've taken the rock 'n' roll camp by surprise, a camp usually filled with bitter men trying to impress their fans and the clueless women in bars with platitudes, still aspiring to be seen as stars. Times have changed, and it's clear that, thankfully, much of the power of contemporary music now belongs to them. It's in the hands of intelligent, fun women who know how to create great compositions.
His newly released debut album, Season One, It is a collection of 10 entertaining songs from beginning to end with a sound so powerful that it makes the room of any listener tremble. They are lighthearted topics, but that doesn't mean they should be taken lightly.. Her lyrics may be messages from her generation, easily understood words that express a clear sense of unease, but even so, the party doesn't stop and the celebration doesn't cease. The singer Laura Velázquez's distinctive voice, whose intonation has some high leaps worthy of celebration, It sets a particular standard, which will surely displease some rigorous music critics. It must also be said that we are fortunate that these kinds of music critics, accustomed only to listening to the stiff, conventional stars of popular television talent shows, They have never been in charge when it comes to the constant musical revolution. What Las Ex do is know how to draw on rock and roll, surf music, and the most twisted aspects of pop., to make anthems that last less than three minutes and that are capable of leaving the room filled with joy, sweat, and emotional explosion. It is powerful music that shakes us, but at the same time infects us with its joy. Topics such as Vitamin, Disillusionment y I don't have fa, They can be heard on any Latin American street, where not much explanation is needed to know that Exuberance is one of the main weapons to combat the mediocrity of the environment. Special mention to the last track on the album: It's called To my mother, and It's a fabulous mix of Smell like teen spirit, by Nirvana, with lyrics from an original song by Andy Chango. It's a song that bands like Kaka de Luxe and other groups that invented good punk in our language have made famous. They would be proud to have been able to imagine.
Your exes are banging on your door. Treat them like they deserve. Like a good proposal that comes to disrupt everything around it.
