Novedades Carminha
Gritty garage punk that traded its leather jacket for a disco ball. High-energy Galician rock made for sweaty dance floors and sarcastic singalongs.

Novedades Carminha is a pivotal Spanish band that emerged from the 'Galician Bizarre' scene, eventually relocating to Madrid. Formed in 2007, their early work was heavily indebted to the 'Killed By Death' punk compilations and the 1980s Iberian punk movement.
Over a decade-long career, they transitioned from the raw garage-rock of 'Te vas con cualquiera' to a more polished, genre-fluid sound on 'Ultraligero,' incorporating elements of funk, cumbia, and synth-pop. This evolution allowed them to maintain a punk ethos while achieving significant commercial success in the Spanish indie circuit. Critically, they are praised for their 'retranca' (a specific Galician form of irony) and their ability to modernize classic rock tropes. They serve as a central node in a network of contemporary Spanish acts like Biznaga and Grande Amore, influencing a new generation of bands that refuse to choose between aggressive guitars and danceable rhythms. Their legacy is defined by a refusal to stay stagnant, successfully navigating the shift from lo-fi outsiders to festival headliners.
