Atalaya Roja "Quemad Las Naves!"

Atalaya Roja "Quemad Las Naves!" (p)2020 self-released

If I finally managed to start a band to play the songs I had been writing for my entire life, for good or bad that band supposedly would play something like this: the guitar-driven lyrics-centered rock music that sounded pretty 90's. And if I only worked up the courage to enter a studio to record an album the result most likely would be like this: a pack of songs (half in my native language, half in English) that bear some DIY aesthetics avoiding excessive studio trickery, sound experiments or flirtations with today's fashion trends. Neither pretty clean nor quite hook-heavy - but it would be very 'right in your face'. Love it or leave it - the former is ok but the latter's not gonna kill me. Would it be gorgeous, or ideal, or perfect? I suppose, no. Besides, it wouldn't be targeted at gaining much attention. It would rather be about trying to find like-minded persons to connect to. Just like "Quemad Las Naves!" probably - at least from my point of view - is.

P.S. As revealed once in an interview, the name of the band is traced back to one of best places in the world for me personally: El Medano's Montana Roja, TF. You know, when driving down by TF-64 from Granadilla de Abona it fucking makes me shiver every time I see that piece of coastal area that lies directly below - always lit by the sun and stroked with the seashore ripples...
