CaNibAL BABY
Rushing Argentinian Punk makes merry with spare sound, basic line-up, and Juana Rinaldi's cheeky declarations. Lo-fi production values are their own reward.

Just as I doubt anyone anticipated that Argentina would in 2026 produce speedy thunderations recalling the 1970s Heartbreakers (by which, I of course mean the cool ones), this most certainly will veer into collections amassed by Born to Losers.

Bad Report Card Blues digital
(L&L Records)
German turns his hands to multiple playing implements, and the jumpin' jive that issues from his Suavecito-pomaded labors shakes the entire place -- especially the hardwood that he/she pairings stomp into next Thursday. The Buenos Aires cat-afire seems so jammed-up, jelly-tight with the rolling sounds Ike-era legends put to wax, he has to grab up guitar or piano, lest he be turned inside out with purely Gone intoxication.
(Per research: German also runs L&L, which he founded in 2020, and works in sundry musical idioms. One source notes that in daylight hours, he's a physical education teacher, therapeutic companion, and psychomotricity assistant.)
