Darkside Of Soul
1997-1999 (discografia)
This record captures a tiny, brilliant fragment of a time worth remembering. Listening to these songs allows us to travel back to a moment when things were done differently than we're used to today - with the heart leading the way and the throat on the verge of bursting. Darkside of Soul are the Barcelona of the late nineties, and their legacy is a humble, honest chapter in the most underground and punk side of that era and that city. Darkside of Soul were dark and noisy; they listened to Screamo and many other sounds coming from the European and North American underground of the time. They blended shrill Hardcore with politicized emotion, and their working-class-neighborhood epic felt urgent and desperate. Unshakeable DIY ethics, youthful rage, relentless intensity, and a burning need to scream the truth - Darkside of Soul were a brief yet endearing flash in the Spanish Hardcore Punk scene that, I insist, is worth remembering.
