Los Punsetes

Formed in Madrid in 2004, Los Punsetes belongs to a Spanish indie pop and pop punk lineage marked by dry guitars, direct rhythms, and a deliberately satirical writing, often centered on social observation and daily life. The band brings together Ariadna Paniagua on vocals, Jorge García and Manuel Sánchez, aka Anntona, on guitars, Chema González on drums, with Luis Fernández on bass after the departure of Gonzalo Prada. After several demos in the mid-2000s, Los Punsetes released their first self-titled album in 2008, followed by LP2 in 2010, Una montaña es una montaña in 2012 and LPIV in 2014, which confirm an aesthetic stretched between abrasive pop, cold humor and melodically frontal choruses. Their trajectory develops on the Spanish indie scene, with regular festival appearances and a stage identity that became associated with Ariadna's immobility in the face of the group's more jagged energy. Los Punsetes then continue with ¡Viva! in 2017, produced by El Guincho, Aniquilación in 2019, the EP Todo el mundo quiere hacerte daño in 2021, and AFDTRQHOT in 2022, while preserving this blend of angular rock, minimal pop and a detached tone that runs through their entire discography.
