An underground punk band is something indestructible. That is the premise of Revolución X, a radical underground band if there is one. Born with the Zapatista uprising in southern Mexico in January 1994, the group has used punk as an instrument of agitation and direct attack. Part of the historical hardcore punk movement of the 90s in Spanish in the United States, to which Los Crudos and Huasipungo belong, for Revolución X punk "will be subversive or it will not be."
"Revolución Permanente" brings together almost all of his official discography, originally released in France and the United States. It also includes a live show in El Paso, Texas and an unreleased bonus track recorded in 2015 in Mexico City. The lyrics of all the songs included, posters and little-known images and some new written materials are also collected. This compilation shows the urgent validity of his message.
From Chihuahua and Texas to Paris, from Santiago de Cuba to Pyongyang, from Mexico City to California, this band has marked a trajectory, secret but influential, in the most radical and rebellious punk. At a time when fascism has returned in full force on all fronts, where oppression seems to encircle all individual and collective spaces, Revolution X demonstrates that resistance is the only possible path and that revolution is a permanent act. No one gives up here.
