Why you should listen: Bogota-based punk band Ataque Zerø, comprising of members from Venezuela, Colombia and France, have released a new EP titled Ciudades. This is my first introduction to the band, having discovered them browsing through Bandcamp one day and being in awe of their infectious, passionate energy throughout their music. The 5-track EP kicks off with the intense guitar and drum-heavy energy of “Pesadilla”, as Luis’s raw vocals shine through. This energy continues on “Cuidades”. The synergy between Guilhem on guitar and Rafa on drums is impressive, with both bringing the heat on tracks like “Control” and “Ya No Estás” with explosive riffs and menacing drumming throughout. The basslines by Oski on “Olvido” are also fantastic, and complement the rumbling energy of the music throughout. Ciudades EP is a pulsating, riveting new project from one of the most exciting up and coming bands making music today.
