Marea
Gritty, poetic Spanish rock that hits like a shot of whiskey. Raw vocals and twin-guitar muscle for late nights and long drives through the city.

Marea is a cornerstone of the Spanish 'Rock Urbano' movement, formed in Navarre in 1997. Led by the charismatic poet-vocalist Kutxi Romero, the band evolved from the shadow of influences like Extremoduro to become a definitive force in their own right.
Their sound is characterized by a dual-guitar attack (Kolibrí Díaz and César Ramallo) that blends hard rock grit with bluesy sensibilities. Culturally, they occupy a unique space where high literature meets the working-class bar scene; Romero's lyrics frequently utilize Navarrese regionalisms and archaic vocabulary, elevating the genre's typical themes of heartbreak and rebellion into something more profound. 000 puñaladas' solidified their commercial and critical standing, maintaining a reputation for uncompromising live performances and a refusal to follow pop trends. They remain a primary influence for modern Spanish rock acts, bridging the gap between 70s hard rock and contemporary alternative sounds.
