ATERKINGS : Live Rock and roll
The combo from Markina (Bizkaia) has just published its first full length album, with tracks inspired by rock classic such as Little Richard, as well as by modern rhythm bands. The strength of the guitarists is evident in all the songs and the album is full of a hard, live, fresh, intense rock. What the group aims to show is that there is no great difference between the tracks as heard on the album and the songs heard live. Listen

They have already got down to work. On 14 May they will be playing in Markina and then in Barakaldo, Vitoria, etc. It is easy to see the stamp of classic rock and roll in their style, although there are also hints of other styles such as boogie and rockabilly, as well as, of course, punk. The drums and guitars create an accelerated, almost infernal rhythm, which often reminds you of the mythic sound of Los Ramones. Here is what they themselves say: We are not original, we simply play music we like. We play classic, dirty rock and roll, and the album also has a touch of punk. We like the fact that it does not sound clean and in fact, between each track the silence is imperceptible. In the references chapter, Aterkings mention MC5, the Stooges, Iggy Pop and the Sonics.
