PORKERIA / Press

“PORKERIA – La Mierda de Siempre LP Records this good often put me at a loss for words. I find it much easier to pick something apart than to get to the core of what makes something great. For instance, I was thinking of starting this review by describing this as straightforward Latino hardcore punk. That sounds generic right? Well essentially that’s what PORKERIA sound like, but rest assured, these well-traveled Texans are anything but boring. This is the middle ground between LOS CRUDOS and PELIGRO SOCIAL, with a little bit of Scandinavian influence tossed in for good measure. It’s fast and raging but after a couple spins every one of these fantastic little ditties will be ingrained in your brain. Most of the lyrics are vaguely political; they’re also fantastically simple and at times even a bit hopeful. “Por La Patria” and “No Te Preocupes” actually gave me fucking chills. This is the best Latino punk LP I’ve heard in a couple years; track it down at any cost. ”

“PORKERIA - Killer fast hardcore from south Texas. Heavy Spanish punk influence and D-beat delivery... the shit fukkn' rules. I saw them last year at 5 in the afternoon after I had watched 15+ bands the day before and they STILL blew my ass away. The mix is super weird, lots of bass and some bizarre effect on the drums, but after the first son gets rolling and you settle in to the sound... aw man, shit is sweet.(Robert) (8-song cassette, lyrics included, adelantediscos@gmail.com)”

“Hollow and raw blistering hardcore from Southern Texas. The guitars are way off in the background, but have a killer aura about them, while the vocals are the clear focus of this tape. Spanish language chaotic hardcore - B.S.A. personnel if anyone if keeping track. ”
