Two bands join the family, 2 brand new releases and a gig.

Things are busy at headquarters. New bands join our roster, we’ve got two new releases and an upcoming O.P.A.L. gig.

We have 2 new bands join our roster, namely Altanez and Macroporno.

Altanez - La Ley de La Calle cover

Altanez is a band that hails from Aguadilla that mixes punk rock, garage, ska, funk and other genres with songs about a whole range of topics. Think of them of our crazy cousins from Puerto Rico’s west side. We are proud to release their “La Ley de la Calle” album for your listening pleasure. Check out their page under our music section.

Maccroporno - The Survivors Tracks cover

Macroporno was one of our favorite local bands when they were around. From 1997 until 2002, Bernice Cruz, Raymond Gadget and Jamar Jackson made some really interesting electronica and idm.  They even attracted the attention of Argentinian rock legend Gustavo Cerati, even opening one of his shows in Puerto Rico. They also attracted the attention of the Beta Bodega label, Warp Records and Argentinian DJ Capri. We are proud to showcase their music through a compilation titled “The Survivors Tracks” on the music section as well. Check it out!

We also have two brand new releases from Descojón Urbano and O.P.A.L.

O.P.A.L.‘s released their Pastoral Manscapes EP a little while ago.  Four short tracks originally commissioned for puertorican film-maker Guillermo Álvarez now released for your aural pleasure here.
