Spanish punk-hardcore scene has always been active and plenty of bands that fight for their right to express their anger against the system; we guess, as in many other countries in the world. But it's true that Barcelona's specific hardcore community has been specially prolific and committed. BCore started in the beginning of the nineties with a clear intention to help young hardcore bands make their way, which, at the time, were specially influenced by melodic hardcore and, a bit later, post-hardcore a la Washington DC. Years have passed and lately we have realized that a lot of earlier, eighties stuff, hasn't been reviewed in years, that many recordings haven't been recovered and that there's a hard archeological work to do with bands and lost recordings that represented the underground punk-hardcore scene in the eighties. Some of you are aware of our latest reissues, including Subterranean Kids, L'Odi Social, Kangrena, Shit SA, HHH. Reissues of old material and also unreleased material, or songs that were only available in terribly-sounding tapes, or in ultra-limited vinyl compilations or almost handmade singles.

After those reissues, always in CD, we've put together some more stuff from really underground but influential bands that had a short living or only a few tunes released: Frenopaticss, seminal aggressive punk combo which would later be the seed of Subterranean Kids and GRB, featuring three tracks re-mastered from the original tapes; Attak, the first band to be hardly influenced by the fast sound of Discharge or Crass, featuring some live tracks (as they never officially recorded anything); Kangrena, who have already an anthology CD released by BCore though lacking of these tracks that were originally released on a 7" single; Sentido Común, with their darker approach to punk, closer to Killing Joke or Flux of Pink Indians, featuring future Subterranean Kids guitarist; and finally Código Neurótico, who trespassed the barriers of the underground being featured on a film and having their songs produced by further spanish pop-stars Los Burros/El Último de la Fila.

This is not the first time in history that this record is planned to be released. In fact, this vinyl LP package, including its original artwork, was supposed to be released in 1989, but it finally couldn't see the light. So we've recovered that original artwork and masters and released it, exactly 20 years after the birth of the idea, as a prove of the richness and enthusiasm that punk and hardcore treasured in the early eighties in Barcelona, but that unfortunately couldn't many times be shown because of lack of support.
