When i think of hardcore punk i can’t help but think of total anarchy in the UK or even a little holiday in Cambodia the American way but Mexico? Not even. As counterintuitive it may seem to contemplate Latin American punk, the truth is that punk has permeated the entire globe and for a long time now so places like Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, sure but Chiapas, Mexico? Well despite there being zero punk scene in the jungles bordering Guatemala, sure enough some young ones are fucking pissed at the world and recorded their angst for the world to hear.

NIÉGALO TODO or in English “Deny Everything” comes form the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, which is the capital city of the state of Chiapas, Mexico’s most southern region. This is one of those virtually impossible artists to track down any info but this band has so far released one short EP titled ABSURDO ESCEPTICISMO SUPERFICIAL which translates as “Absurd Superficial Skepticism.” Now what’s all that about you ask? Fuck if i know i say. This cassette only release that was limited to only 100 copies has now been turned into a Bandcamp downloadable digital releases as well. This lil shorty of only ten track only clocks in at 17 minutes with tracks being about one to two minutes in length.

This is some seriously pissed off punk here. Bantering guitars distorted to high heaven with rampaging tempos, furious bass and drums and some of the angriest crossover metal vocals ever for a hardcore punk band, NIÉGALO TODO takes the energetic excess of Distortion and Amoeba and mixes it with the more traditional punk compositional style of the classic UK bands that emerged in the first wave of the punk rock scene. This is really the stuff punk rock dreams are made of. Caustic as fuck, energetic and reeking of rage and discontent. All the lyrics are in the Spanish language but you don’t really need to understand the lyrics to feel the wrath spewed from every screamed syllable in full distorted decibelage.

While it’s all over as soon as it seems to start, this short explosive firecracker of an EP is relentless in its duration. Certainly not innovative, definitely not forward thinking, this set of ten tracks is just pure youthful discontent erupting like Mount Vesuvius and your ear drums are Pompeii. It doesn’t really get any more authentic and DIY as what’s presented here and what makes it even more enticing is how fast the tempos rampage along with the extreme metal tones, timbres and excessive energetic deliveries. Very cool for an obvious home recording in the middle of some off the beaten track in southern Mexico.
