Do you want to hear some hardcore ska punk from the Dominican Republic? Then check this new track by Espericles!
"Quiero Ser" or "I want to exist," starts off with a head slamming hardcore charge before breaking down into a ska beat before warping into a space rock jam. It's quite the trip!
The band's Cristobol spoke to Punknews “When I wrote Quiero Ser, I wanted to challenge myself and try to mix four different genres on rock into one song. It starts off super fast with a hardcore verse mixing into a pop-punk bridge then ending with some ska / reggae and a Caribbean Latin solo to end the song. It was fun to figure out and I think it came out pretty neat!”
The tune is off the band's upcoming EP which you can pick up here. Meanwhile, check out "Quiero Ser" below, right now!
