Hispanic post punks POST CRUCIFIXION have their debut album out, along with an all new single “fugitivos”, with another single "fall and bleed" out next year. The band goes into talks about their inspiration and influences, how they got their band name, where they come from and what the scene is like there. Down to furthering plans as far as shows and possibly touring!
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or did it come out just like that?
Our name comes from an Argentinian blues rock band from the 70s called pescado rabioso, one of their songs has the name “post-crucifixion” We felt like it sounded cool and Cris suggested to be named like that we stuck with it because of our love for Spanish rock and because it fit the aesthetic
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
It’s the genre that we grew up listening to for example Alex grew up listening to AFI the cure joy division, depeche mode. While me and Cris listened to those bands as well and also Spanish rock bands from the 80s that had a gothic new wave band such as caifanes, los prisioneros, soda estéreo. We all have the same love for this kind of music and it reminds us of our culture. We just love post punk.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
I (Markus) met Cris at a random hardcore show in mesa Arizona. I spoke to him because he had a Daniel Johnston shirt and i never seen a person wearing that shirt. We talked about Daniel Johnston and music. And i saw his wallpaper and i saw he had the cure. We then started talking about Spanish rock and our love for the 80s Spanish goth scene. Our friendship was always based in music and we also pretty much have the same brainrot humor. We both met Alex at one of our shows actually he came to see us because he was interested in finding goth bands from phoenix. At that point we were already a band with our ex drummer Jonathan and ex guitarist Anthony. He saw us at a show and we became friends. I thought he was cool from the beginning and we stayed in contact and then later on i asked him to join the band.
4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We are based in Phoenix Arizona. Some locals we recommends are corbeau hangs, alex okami (Alex side project) Black tapestry, Paper foxes, Le Mal Archivo seis Rare Kreature.
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
What inspires us is to make music that we want to hear while also connecting with people we love to talk to people at shows we love music and it’s most important thing in the whole world Music keeps us together and it’s so amazing how you can connect and make friendships just by talking about music. It’s also really cool how Cris and I came to this country and we get experience being in a band and singing in our language.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
Our songs about specific themes about how we feel our songs are really emotional and if you have an opportunity to look at the lyrics I think the meanings are very personal. It talks about experiences we lived and that other people could relate to.
7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
We write our own songs 100% One of us might come with a lyric idea, riff, and then when we all meet we write the song.
8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We released our first album “el pasajero” written between 2023-24 Cris and I wrote all of the songs. The album really deals with personal emotions we feel. We also released two singles exploring different sounds close to death with more of an electronic darkwave sound and really a more post punk approach to it.
9. Do you have any new music in the works?
We do! Our new single “fugitivos” out now with another single out next year called “fall and bleed”. We are also working on our second album.
10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We have few shows in the beginning of the year and we would love to plan a tour possibly in spring.
11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
The plan is to evolve always and just get better each time. We also want to travel to new cities and stay together.
12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
