Do you like Charles Bronson? Do you like Cripple Bastards? If yes, then you're in for a real treat, 'cause this is like a mixture of those two. It's not everyday you receive a CD from Venezuela, and to be honest this is probably my first ever piece of music from over there. Three guys handling the instruments, and one female vocalist. And I gotta say, this is probably the most hoarse-vocaled female in the crust genre.
Punks all over the world will go apeshit over this, as long as Kolumpio gets the attention they deserve. Short political tunes, deeply into the hardcorecrust I thought died in the 90ies, and with a grinding edge. I gotta say, I love this shit. And if it were up to me this band would release a lot of split-7"s. Very cool!
