Punk, I feel like it’s a more binary place, more for men. And I mean, it’s been a little difficult to take space in spaces that normally belong to men, right? I can tell you the truth is that they’re not willing to let go. So, obviously, if you as a dissident go out and challenge that and do whatever the f*ck you want, there will always be people who won’t agree. It’s a super stupid cultural thing. But that’s why we’re punk, because there are things to protest about and punk’s about speaking your mind.

EXTA – CÁRCEL MENTAL // PISTA POR PISTA. CDMX PUNK <ESP>
Tenemos una cancion que se llama Narcoestado, que habla de la violencia de crecer en Sinaloa. Yo soy Sinaloense y Sonorense, mi familia está distribuida por esos dos lugares de aquí de México, que son en el norte del país. Y ya sabrás todo el mundo que son lugares violento de donde era El Chapo. Cuando era chica crecí muchos años en el sexenio de Calderón, que fue súper violento, güey. Lo vi muchos cuerpos colgados, cabezas cercenadas, brazos, patas, así en el día a día.
ARTICHOKAT – ENTRE BASTIDORES CON LA DIBUJANTE <ENG> (Behind-The-Scenes with the Artist)
Do it yourself and if you don’t know how, find a friend or someone to learn it from. And when you know it, share it. I have learned the most about drawing from my friends, they are what inspire me and they are my drive to continue doing things, doing it alone makes no sense.
INQIRAD – THERE’S NO GOOD KING.
In Arabic, we call the word resistance intifada. Punk is the essence of the word intifada. This is what the Arabs need – we need punk.
FUSION BABIES – SACRED ANGER.
From our performances, I hope people take away that it’s okay to be angry. It’s okay to be sad. I hope people can think and rethink the things we need to do to make the world a better place for all of us
ARTICHOKAT – ENTRE BASTIDORES CON LA DIBUJANTE <ESP>
Hazlo tú mismo y si no sabes como, busca alguna amiga o alguien de quien aprenderlo. Y cuando sepas, compártelo. De donde más he aprendido sobre dibujo es de mi amigos, son lo que me inspira y son mi motor para seguir haciendo cosas, hacerlo sola no tiene sentido.
MAKING HARDCORE A THREAT AGAIN! UNTUK PALESTINA. <ENG + IND>
Just like Punk which was born from resistance, we feel it is important and necessary to “do something” about what is happening in Palestine. And this attitude of resistance is the spirit of punk itself.
VIOLENCIA. <ESP>
Algo que nos pasa seguido es que en cualquier ciudad de Estados Unidos que toquemos, siempre hay un par de Mexicanos. Y puedo ver qué les emociona y/o da gusto ver a una banda de Mexico tocando por esos lados. Esta curada poder platicar con ellos un poco, conocer gente nueva que se identifican como Mexicanos pero que crecieron en otro país y en otra realidad totalmente distinta a la que nosotros tuvimos. Creo que como latinos nos ponemos felices de toparnos lejos de casa, pero también creo que sin decírnos lo sabemos que de una u otra manera la hemos perreado para estar ahí.
VIOLENCIA. <ENG>
Something that happens to us often is that in any city in the US we play in, there are always a couple of Mexicans. And I can see that they get excited and/or happy to see a band from Mexico playing in those parts. It’s nice to be able to talk with them a little, meet new people who identify as Mexican but grew up in another country and in another reality totally different from the one we had. I think that as Latinos we are happy to find ourselves far from home. I also think that, without telling ourselves, we know that in one way or another, we found a way to be there.
ESCAPE – ELYGOAT.
As a kid, wrestling was a big part of the culture in my house. I didn’t connect with it until I got older and could see the value in stories as something to learn and take inspiration from – Lucha specifically with the characters and their personalities, it’s easy to lose yourself in the world of it all. But stories can also be a path to finding yourself, a means to relate & aspire.
