Colisión: S/T 7"
Colisión is a LGBT band and we like to think of us as a band made by/for women and dissident sexualities or identities. With our songs we try to reflect our feelings and experiences as women and part of the LGBT community and the hostilities that we have to face on our daily lives. Hostility against hostility.
Our take: The UK’s Crew Cuts Records brings us the debut record from this Spanish band who proudly identifies as LGBT. One might think that has no bearing on the sound, but this record is primal, explosive, and dripping in gravitas that must come from having a mission statement broader than just “make a cool punk record.” I wonder, too, if focusing on the band members’ identities opens Colisión’s music to a wider sphere of influences. While they sound like the kind of raw, nasty DIY punk band that might put out a record on Iron Lung or La Vida Es Un Mus, there are moments like the huge breakdown in “La Guardia Alta” that seem to come from somewhere else. However, no one is going to accuse Colisión of being a “tough guy” band because they’re clearly about so much more than bashing heads. Same for the cool discordant, Fugazi-esque riffing in “Bla, Bla, Bla…” it’s unexpected, but works perfectly within the record’s context. For me, punk is always more powerful when it’s fueled by politics and philosophy, and Colisión’s fiery debut supports that argument.
