Espasmódicos Enciendes Tu Motor // Estan Deseando Que Te Pongas A Te / Ni Eficacia Ni Progreso (Dro) 1982. Clearly, I am not fucking around. This is one of my favourite punk 45s from Spain and it’s from the Madrid band Espasmódicos. I really don’t consider it to be by the book hardcore per se, even though it came out at the peak of the hardcore era in 1982. Instead, it’s a weird sort of art-punk-hardcore. Kinda like the Yugo bands or maybe the Middle Class from LA or maybe even As Mercenarias in Brazil. Espasmódicos went on to release another EP in 1983 before calling it quits. Recently all of their stuff was re-released on CD. Spain is a country that maybe does not get the cred other countries does sometimes with regards to punk rock. That’s a shame too because there were some great bands from Spain like Toreros After Ole, Las Vulpess and of course, Espasmódicos. I’m gonna start posting some more of this stuff because it kicks ass.
