Oakland's Deseos Primitivos play a style of mid-paced early hardcore punk with a definite debt to Posh Boy Records, as well as bands like the Rezillos. I gotta say that their three track, debut demo showcases these bi-continental influences with a confidence the belies a first offering.The opening track "Boba" flirts with almost surf-like guitar parts that speak to early Agent Orange and a subtle sense of melody that recalls the Avengers or early Social Distortion. "Crecer" switches gears to equal success with a jangly guitar tone and style that is reminiscent of a harder edge version of something like the Close Lobsters. Deseos Primitivos return to a more aggressive style for the final cut of the demo, "Pueblo". "Pueblo" manages to even sneak in some proto-death rock moments which suits the reverb heavy style production of the demo immensely.
If you dig the style of early L.A. hardcore and punk I cannot recommend this demo enough. I will say it is a Spanish language release and as someone whose closest foray into speaking or understanding Spanish was taking high school Latin, I still find a lot to enjoy. I am excited to see what Deseos Primitivos is gonna do next. Check out their bandcamp to cop the demo and a live set for a PWYC price:
