Nahtabisk*, Mexican new wave!

 Several months ago, I picked up this 12" ep by Nahtabisk* on the recommendation of a friend. The record was self-released by the band in 1984, and according to the all-knowing interwebs, it seems the band did little else. The contact information the back of the record suggests they were from Mexico City, although I can't be sure.

 This synth-driven punk/new wave record is a fairly interesting listen. Musically, it reminds me of fairly simplistic early punk, except it is all electronic. The vocals, unfortunately, are very pedestrian and uninspired, but I like listening to this every now and then for the music alone.

Check out the tracks here:

1. Frio escalofrio
2. Buscando un trabajo
3. La dama de probeta
3. Así es...!
