Y Ahora Qué?

Nice punkrock album from Sevilla. Not that special to me, but it’s a pleasure to listen to nonetheless.

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Ya esta bien, Ay dolores, En una patera, Hablando con mi cerebro, Ganao

Had fun listening to this. Not sure if this is the best Spain has to offer, but it was entertaining.

I don't speak Spanish at all, but the music was cool and energetic

This wasn’t at all what I was expecting. I guess it shows to never judge a book by its cover, but based on the band name and album title, I was expecting something along the lines of the Gipsy Kings or some other flamenco. Definitely wasn’t expecting some alt punk! Great vocals, great guitars. Banger of an album.

Spanish punk rock. Mostly "carne y patatas" for the vast majority of the tracks (get it?). The drums sound awkward or heavy-handed sometimes, and the voice most often comes off weak, hackneyed, or "forced" compared to other stellar vocalists from that genre as played during the late nineties / early noughts. Some nice guitar octave riffs here and there. Yet nothing revolutionary compared to other pivotal acts in the genre. Oh, and that artwork is positively horrible (not in good way, lol). One terrific track is saving this punk record from my lowest-rated gallery, though: "¡Ay! Dolores". That awesome song has a simple-yet-clearly-infectious chorus, an incredible violin arrangement, and a terrific flamenco conclusion -- short, but complete with acoustic guitars, handclaps, and impassioned vocals by a woman. It's a composition that *instantly* stood out when I listened to this thing, and I wasn't surprised to see it in the most streamed tracks released by Reincidentes on my streaming service -- *after* I first listened to it, that is. So thanks to the user who suggested this. We might not see eye to eye about how great punk rock should sound like, but I gotta credit you for letting me know about this band, and how it visibly left an imprint in the alternative Spanish rock world thanks to that one song from the album. It's always nice to discover great tracks you would never have discovered without this app. 1.5/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums, rounded up to 2. 6.5/10 for more general purposes (4.5 for the musicianship and overall production values + 1 for the artistry + 1 for "¡Ay! Dolores") ---- Number of albums from the original list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 465 Albums from the original list I *might* include in mine later on: 288 Albums from the original list I won't include in mine: 336 ---- Number of albums from the users list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 75 Albums from the users list I *might* select for mine later on: 94 Albums from the users list I won't select for mine: 184 (including this one) ---- Émile, tu trouveras ma dernière réponse sous le *Inside* de Bo Burnham

Spanish punk and chords? Take my 5

Punk-rock kalimotxero. Es lo mío. Vinilo.

Discazo de una de las mejores bandas de rock españolas. Contundente, con buenos estribillos, letras reivindicativas, excelente producción. No puede faltar en ningún momento

Spanish punk. Fuck yea!! Favorite songs: Ganao, En Una Patera, Estrellao, T.V., Ay! Dolores, Pikolin, No-Normal, Y Esta Bien, Hablando Con Mi Cerebro, Domesticao Least favourite songs: Poema Social de Guerra Y Muerte 5/5

Fun rock y alternativo!

This was so much fun. Definitely a punk rock vibe and just straightforward rock energy that gives me a spanish language Social Distortion energy. Band sounds like they are having a blast ripping through track after track.

¡Ay caramba!

A bit too long, but incredibly fun through and through.

Punk rock from Spain? Heck Yeah!

Thanks for the discovery!

It wasn’t at all what I was expecting but it turned out to be great! If it had been in English I may have given it five stars!

I really liked Y Ahora Qué?, I dunno if it's because I listen to a lot of Ska-P who are somewhat contemporaries of this lot (and Ya Esta Bien is very similar in structure and sound to at least one song off their Incontrolable album I can't name offhand), but it really hit the spot this morning. They have energy, they have strong musical harmonies but they also have the collective singing harmonies that I enjoy a lot in punk bands (Dropkick Murphys are excellent at it) where everyone singing the big chorus parts or the hooks creates a community and a union that reaches out and includes you; I bet this lot are incredibly fun live. Ay!Dolores! is a top track but my favourite was Hablando Con Mi Cerebro, it has a melancholic feel to it that they sell with strong arrangements and a real emotion behind it. This gets a 4 and a bunch of tracks added to my Liked Songs, happy Sunday.

Pretty dope Spanish punk. This is the kind of thing I like finding through this list because I probably wouldn't have heard it otherwise.

January 19, 2026 HL: “¡Ay! Dolores”, “En una Patera”, "Hablando Con Mi Cerebro", "La espiral", "Domesticao" The closest thing I can think of that I listened to recently is the Bad Religion album someone else posted. In other words, a punk band that chose a more mainstream rock sound without totally sacrificing their edge. I hate that those are the "punk" albums I gravitate towards, but 'thems the breaks'. The album cover and song titles give me the sense this is a political album. My Spanish is basically nada, so how political, and what politics, I cannot say. But this still rocks! 🤘 Sometimes I forget I was raised on a more straightforward rock diet (thanks, Mom), so the pleasures of an album such as this shouldn't come as a surprise to me. Even if my own tastes have drifted over the years...

Yeah, a really fun listen! Punk with extra flourishes. From what I read, the band seem pretty right on, too. My lack of Spanish prevents me from fully engaging with it, but definitely pleased to have been introduced to 'em! Fave tracks - "¡Ay! Dolores", "Un Pueblo", "Pikolín"

I've been listening to a lot of Enjambre recently, which is more of an indie rock sound, but can't say my Spanish has improved much. I did quite enjoy this album and am keen to explore further, nice punky protest atmosphere. Faves? hard to pick but mayne Ya Esa Bien and Domesticao.

I don't know the words but I resonate with the music. Super cool album even though it was a bear to find!

Fun punk. Fun, punk.

I thought this album was really fun. I don't have a huge amount to say about it, but I got through multiple listens and enjoyed both of them 4/5

I enjoyed this quite a bit, way more so that I thought I would.

Loved this one! Very cool.

Very straightforward punk music. But not speaking Spanish, I didn't get the messages without reading about the band and album. Nothing wrong with that, but it probably made less of an impact for me as a result. Songs where the vocals were more chanted than sung felt more right for the genre, but early on the combination of very typical American/British pop-punk with somewhat traditional Spanish singing (to my ears at least) seemed a bit incongruous. I got used to it, or the style adjusted, and overall I enjoyed the album and the lyrical themes I read about.

Obscure and good!? That’s pretty cool. It’s not great. There’s a reason most people wouldn’t know this album, but I don’t think anyone should hate it. It’s not got the biggest range, but it is fun and energetic. I enjoyed my listen. I do wonder if they were saying anything of substance? I would have no idea. I suppose I could put all the lyrics into a translator, but I’ll choose to believe the lyrics were as good as the songwriting, instrumentation, production, and vocals. 4/5

This rocked. Would it be better if I understood the lyrics? Who knows.

Sounds dated

Punky, dramatic, heavy -- nice mix of styles, enjoyed the energy. Didn't really hit it out of the park for me but I'm happy to have listened once.

Kinda cute. Rocks a bit harder than the last Spanish band featured on this list (Duncan Dhu) but is still rather light on the rock and roll spectrum. My Spanish is quite poor, so I cannot speak to the lyrics much. The melodies are fun if unremarkable.

Solid punk rock. I feel like it's a musical idiom that the romance languages don't really lend themselves to, and I wasn't picking up much of the lyrics, but they sounded good nonetheless.

Spanish punk rock. Fun, but does have a bit of that 90s/00s "album too long" disease

Something different for a Friday afternoon

Great rock LP, at times felt like it was dipping into hardcore before pulling back into a few other genres. A bit long for the melodic content it has to share, but still a much-needed international pick for the list.

Fun Punk in Spanish.

Like a latin language green day with eerily disturbing cover art. 3.

No idea what they are singing about, but I got the vibe of a good fun Spanish punk music. Enjoyed this.

I would have gotten more out of this album without the language barrier, but it has great energy. They could have dropped a couple of songs to make it tighter though. Fave Songs: No normal, Ya está bien, ¡Ay Dolores!, En una patera

Fun Spanish punk

Pretty fun Spanish rock, that would have worked better if it was 10-15 minutes shorter.

Also fun

This album was full of surprises and I did not run away from them. I enjoyed!

I'm conflicted on this one. It has its moments, but ultimately not enough of those 2 minute songs. It just doesn't grab me enough. Too rock leaning for my taste. When it comes to Spanish punk, I prefer Depressing Claim.

Absolutely not my thing. Just so bland. My personal rating: 2/5 My rating relative to the list: 2.5/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.

Spanish punk? Don't often get into such a genre. Well added.

3.5

Has some great moments

Like a Spanish Gogol Bordello, not bad. Great energy, mediocre songwriting.

Like it.

Pretty hopping tunes. Not bilingual, so assuming it wasn't advocating death, misogyny or other inappropriate topics

Some interesting bits. not sure if I'd re-listen

This was really fun straight up punk/rock. One of those albums I was happy to listen to.

I’ve never heard of Reincidentes before, but this sounds like an interesting album. I know a very minimal amount of Spanish, but that didn’t really detract from my enjoyment of any Spanish language albums on the main list. Let’s see what these punk rockers have in store! Overall, I thought ¿Y Ahora Que? was a good album. The high energy, good guitar playing, and cool vocal techniques made this album pretty enjoyable to listen to. The Spanish vocals gave this album a really cool flair, and made Reincidentes’ punk sound really unique. There was a healthy bit of variation to the sound of this album as well, and it sounded to me like the band pulled inspiration from a few different sources when it came to their guitar playing. The drumming and the bass playing were okay, but everything else really took a back seat to the lead guitar. I did enjoy the strings on “¡Ay! Dolores,” and I wished that Reincidentes had branched out a bit more when crafting their sound, because they’re clearly good at it. Even though this album wasn’t completely my jam, it was fun to branch out, and I’m glad someone added this to the user albums list.

Nice to have some foreign language stuff. It wasn't bad, but didn't particularly move me.

No idea what they're on about but they sound like they mean it and it was energetic and fun to listen to

That was fun for being completely in Spanish and only knowing a few words

These songs would be on the soundtrack to Spanish Tony Hawk Pro Skater

Middle of the road rock with some words I couldn't understand. Tres perfecto

This album had its moments, but they were not very frequent. Poema Social De Guerra Y Muerte was a high point -- some of the breakdowns reminded a bit of Rush (Tom Sawyer) actually. Otherwise, not really my cup o' tea -- this is a real down low 3.

I’d proline this more if I spoke Spanish, but it had really consistent energy throughout. I’d listen again.

Different for sure. It was a fun punk album and even though I didn't understand everything they were singing about, I still enjoyed it. I would say the sound of it wasn't pushing the envelope or improving on other similar bands from that timeframe, but it was still entertaining enough.

The music kicks with that 90s guitar emphasis - hearing a lot of influences; almost a little Maidenesque melody but with some thrashy double-kicks (not my favourite but it's used sparingly) wrapped in a punk wrapper? What bugged me most wasn't necessarily the vocals themselves but the mix - completely raw/dry which immediately came off as too jarring. Although after about 4 songs I got a bit more used to it, I'd still have lowered them in the mix a touch and added the hintiest hint of delay on them. Interesting to be sure - had never heard of these guys and reading up on the album's topics makes them even more interesting. Felt a bit longer than the actual overall runtime, that might be on me. Feels like a band that I'd enjoy live - good musicianship and you can tell they've gathered influences from a lot of genres. Terrible cover tho - like...what?? :P 7/10 3 stars IMO: Belonged in the book? No.

lmao 2

wtf is this album cover lol. I'm gonna guess punk or hardcore, probably Latin America. Well, just call me Nostradamus. Actually it's Spain, but meh. Pretty average, amateur. 2/5.

This was a decent Spanish punk rock album. The obvious drawback is I have no idea what they’re angry about. The instrumentals were solid and it had a good punk feel that wasn’t too intense. I’m sure if I knew what was going on this would get 3 stars. 5.4/10

Painful

Quite bland, the vocals were fine but wasn't interesting

No my thing. Felt generic

Disculpas pero esto no es nada especial.

This is pretty good if generic Spanish punk rock, but man, the production is ASS and has ZERO sauce. The entire album comes off as extremely flat and boring because of it. Maybe if I understood the lyrics it would have stood out more to me. "Ay Dolores" was great though.

It wouldn't be out of place as a 5th placed Eurovision entry. Way ahead of the UK 'nil-points'......

Sort of badly produced not very interesting punk.

I was excited to get a Spanish speaking album but for some reason it was incredibly disappointing and just not fun. I mean some were, but honestly it was a little lengthy and just bleh.

irrelevant music
