Two constants have defined URSS since their formation in late 2005. On the one hand, an unwavering commitment to a distinctly punk identity — understood as a broad spectrum of styles ranging from London punk of ’76–’77, the immediately following Californian scene led by Dead Kennedys, the wave that emerged on both sides of the Atlantic at the dawn of the 1980s, and above all the tradition of classic Iberian punk — among other influences they have embraced and revitalised like no one else has in this century in our country. On the other, a strong and unmistakable personality of their own: no one sounds like them. Despite maintaining a consistently low media profile — in keeping with their strictly DIY philosophy and lack of interest in conventional promotional channels — they have influenced a host of newer punk-adjacent bands, both in Latin America and in Spain. Live, they grow more forceful with every performance, while their recordings have steadily gained in versatility, complexity and depth of arrangement. At Humo Internacional, we could not be prouder to count what we consider the finest punk band our country has produced in years — and, beyond that, our friends and comrades.
