Berri Txarrak

Berri Txarrak was formed in 1994. Coming from the Basque Country (Spain), this young band has released 5 records, with a constant evolution that mixes alternative rock, energy, punk, hardcore, metal and some amazing melodies. Singing in euskera (basque language), Berri Txarrak has become one of the best rock bands within the Spanish State’s panorama. Their last two albums, called "Libre©" and "Jaio. Musika. Hil" were praised as best ‘spanish’ rock/hardcore albums in 2003 and 2005 by such important magazines as Rock Sound (now Rockzone) or Mondosonoro. "Libre©" featured a guest appearence by Rise Against singer Tim Mc Ilrath. Berri Txarrak love highly emotive, fresh and energetic songs with clever poethic lyrics not refusing to claim against every kind of injustice around and pro freedom of speech and thought. Berri Txarrak is a power trio who’s already toured through Germany, USA, UK, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Ireland, Nicaragua, Mexico, Catalunya, Taiwan, Japan… Their latest album ‘Jaio. Musika. Hil’ was recorded by Karlos Osinaga (Lisabö) and mixed by Ed Rose at his Black Lodge Studios in Kansas. In late 2007, Berri Txarrak released "Zertarako Amestu" (Dream for what?), a really interesting and emotive documentary on the band’s philosophy, tour-diary and recording process in black and white. The DVD also includes a special live show by the band in Gernika (Basque Country). This documentary won the Best Video of the Year Gaztea Award in 2008. Listen at Last.fm
