Pura Mania - La Banda Es La Ley LP Review

Pura Mania is from Vancouver, British Columbia and features Cabeza from the band Fracaso on vocals, former Spectres' Zach Batalden on Guitar, Jason Renix on the bass as well as former Sore Points Mitch Allen on drums. This band has been around for a while now, releasing a couple of 7"'s and a cassette back in 2014. La Banda Es La Ley is the band's second long player, following 2017's Cerebros Punk. All of the songs are sung in Spanish but don't worry, Spanish was the first language I spoke as a kid and even I can't make out some of the lyrics. When you consume yourself in this record, you'll find that the universal language of punk rock translates just fine in your mind.  With this new album, Pura Mania's songs seem more focused, razor sharp and going straight for the throat. Theses guys blast out a unique, punchy, and very charismatic brand of punk rock. It's loud, it's catchy and sung by a dude with very throaty vocals. Like he's hoars...
