Metanoia – Retroceder Nunca

This is probably a first – a punk rock CD that comes with a money back guarantee? As in, they guarantee that you will like it. If you are in to punk rock, I would probably venture to make the same guarantee. Yes, the lyrics are all in Spanish. No, I don’t know Spanish – so I have no idea what they are singing. But I do find myself immediately pulled in by the grove of the first track. There is a ton of energy on this album – like the real energy that you hear from real punk bands but not the big time record label fodder. To my ears, this sounds like what MxPx would have sounded like on their first album if they were heavier. Well, that and wrote about half the number of songs. And sung in Spanish.  But that is just to say that these songs are catchy, fast, and a bit on the heavy side. So give them a shot – you literally have nothing to lose.
