When I came from Lagos (Nigeria) to San Francisco (Bilbao)
life was tough here or there.
I did not mind, I had a purpose in my life:
to fight the system that fucks up everyday of our life. Back in my hometown,
I was an unknown songwriter
but, as soon as I arrived to the streets of Bilbao, I discovered Punk Rock.
It had energy and attitude and was exactly what I needed.
Next thing was to get a band.
I found out the most primitive drummer in Bilbao, Alberto Lopez
(ex-La Secta, ex-Yogur, ex-Atom-Rhumba), and the noisiest
guitarrists around, Mattin & Xabier Erkizia (ex-Gutariko Bat). The band was formed under my
name, it could not have been any other way.
These songs go beyond what rock and roll is and what it could be, in fact they are
the degenereation of Rock&Roll against the regeneration
of Bilbao.

"Get them Down" on the netlabel Desetxea (Berlin)

hey yo
Get Them Down
Give them all the pain you can

MY LIFE IS SHIT
Billy Bao from the LP "Dialectics of Shit"

"10"  From the 7" "Accumulation" (ogg format)

"Buscando Audiencia" RE:MAPA (Basque Country)

"Drill City" on the double compilation cd of Sonic Protest Festival 2007 (Paris)

every day I go out,
every day I feel that
the streets are police &
hospitals for mindless people
who need aseptic decisions
to conduct their lives,
I get a drill and
finally  I
start to feel my blood
running through my head
and you, you, you,
better stay home because
if you don't, you might
get hurt,
Drill City,
Drill City,
Drill City
before they drill your brain
