Es Una Vil Mentira Que Todo Va a Estar Mejor

It’s not difficult to make hardcore punk shout about bleakness and rail against it but it takes a special talent to transform it into a violent good time. Mexico City’s Crimen do so in style, playing rugged chords over lightning-fast drums, taking inspiration from seminal Spanish bands like La Polla Records and Eskorbuto as well as Bad Brains, Minor Threat, etc. Catchy tracks like “Vaya forma de arruinar el fin de semana” and “Nido de putas ratas” are furiously supercharged tunes with riffs for days that will make you get off your feet and head to the nearest pit available.
