Unknown-ness: Never heard of this band, but came across this CD in a box of leftover CDs from someone's move. I have a strong idea that, based on the dark & death artwork, not to mention a cover that reminds me of the Misfits, i'm guessing this is punk with a dark subject matter. Based on the address and lyrics, the Argentinian band performs in Spanish, but i'm really excited to see how the horns are used, if the sheer speed of the songs pushed them into Ska territory, or they just play HC punk with horns.

Album Review: They definitely have a darker edge with their punk rock, very similar to the Misfits. It is not pop punk on the surface, although some of the songs do use a catchy three chord structure (and their "single Gente Que No does reach ska-pop status), it is a deeper, dark tone with fast, driving guitars at times. They also mix it up with some reggae influence, which still carries a dark, unsettling tone...as the listens progress, the reggae style shares equal stage with the Hardcore Punk.

This copy is a reissue of their sophomore 1988 album, that sings about political oppression, racism, immigration abuse, and land reform. The name translates to All Your Dead, and is a reference to the people killed in Argentina during the "Dirty War" under the dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla in the late 70's. "Gamexane" passed away in 2011, but they have done occasional reunion shows
