GUILLERMO URDANIBIA “EL NERDO” Valencia, Spain guillermourdanibia.tumblr.com Record: Black Flag “Damaged” ♫ _ Describe your involvement with the DIY community. I´ve played in bands such as C.S.C. (Contentration Summer Camps), Altercado Espiritual or Muerte a la Muerte. Currently I sing in Templo del Pueblo. I´ve also done a few fanzines (We Are Robots and Crimecity) and I´ve designed posters and record covers for many bands (such as La Oposición, Hounds of Hate, Dawn of Humans, Shipwrecked, the Spits, la Moto de Fernan, Winterstorm, Good Fellaz...) When was the first time that you heard this record? Around 1992, I´ve bought this record in a trip to Paris. How did you discover it? I already had “The first four years” and sure loved it, and seeing this record cover in the record bin was love at first sight. It had that dark, menacing, tough atmosphere that my teenage self was a sucker for. Why did it change your life? While it´s tru that I ended up digging way more the Pettibone drawings in other BF records, the sound of this record sure was life changing. It is the soundtrack of teenage angst, depression and nihilism... It sounds like a bunch of cromagnons making musical instruments suffer, and an over the top singer screaming against the whole fucking world. It sure messed up my musical taste, and let me eternally looking for other records that can top this bad vibes masterpiece. Say what you want Abajo la puta ley! Original cover:
