Punal
Buscando La Muerte
Puñal is back with their debut LP seven years after their demo. Hailing from Mallorca, their punk sounds angry, dirty and very prickly. The 10 tracks of the LP are rooted in the classic Iberian punk sound while sounding current. Powered by the classic 1-2 drum beat, with a bass driven sound that is both sharp and dirgy at the same time, and sets the tone for their raging anti-social message. Nihilistic street thug lyrics which bring to mind Cicatriz or Eskorbuto but sonically are closer to UK82 and Latin American '80s aggro, with hints of So-Cal punk at times. The entire record is dedicated to Puñal's former drummer Martí (Orden Mundial, Trau and a million other bands), a stalwart of the Mallorca punk scene who tragically died in a motorbike accident in 2019.
