Wild Balbina
Blood Buzze [En]: Spanish Indie 17: suggesting the best national acts
Wild Balbina. Coming from Vigo, the trio formed in 2010 when Antía Figueiras and Marta González decided to move on from their initial covers combo to a real band after recruiting V. Zapata. A lot of local exposure live followed until 2012, with their only release to date, the EP "Eat Tacos", out on Elefant Records. Self-defined as wild teen-punk-surf, the four tunes are a stunning blend of styles recalling bands like Bleached, Veronica Falls, Helen Love or The Shop Assistants. Besides their killer songs, the link with the riot grrrl movement is obvious, as they also run the feminist-cultural fanzine Typical Girls, offering another reason to keep this name on your agendas.
