I strongly recommend this band.
As Sparkey knows, I’m off to Spain asap - and learning the language.
These guys are really good - please give them a listen and try to ignore/tolerate the Spanish - or even try and follow it like me :)
Their melodies are really good and I will try and see them when I’m over there…..

Are you moving to Spain or just holidaying? Either way, well done on learning the lingo.
I'll be giving that band a listen later on today <ok>

As soon as I get to 60 - or get made redundant - I’m off.
We have a flat in Gibraltar which is currently rented out.
Our plan is to live near Marbella and run the Gib flat as an Airbnb.

Guys - If it works according to plan and you fancy a break in Gib then I’ll still be posting here (more on our own board) so I’ll offer you preferential‘ ‘neighbour’ rates <cheers>
Seriously.

Also, if any of you happen to find yourself in Gib and go to the Trafalgar pub (next to the Trafalgar cemetery) and you see a Bristol City pennant then it was donated by me !!!
There is a Cardiff pennant there (and a Jacks one too - among others!!)

Just another note - if you can listen to their music and get beyond the language issue - there are a number of foreign bands/artists that are relatively unknown here in the UK but are geniuses in their own right.
Jonny Halliday is another - different genre but a great artist nonetheless - worked with Paul McCartney - but never broke into the UK music scene because he only sung in French.

So I've listened to half a dozen of their songs and there's no denying that they are excellent at what they do. I didn't have an issue with the language and in fact, I thought it enhanced the experience. The vocal layering is very accomplished and the instrumental musicians do what they should do for that style of music... keep it simple. I wouldn't accuse them of musical plagiarism but there's a myriad of clear influencers there... nothing wrong with that either.
Overall, perhaps a little bit clichéd for me but I can respect them. I got the impression that seeing and listening to them live would be the best experience.
Thanks for sharing and I will listen to some more. <cheers>
