The band formed by Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Xabier Iriondo, Franz Valente (Il Teatro Degli Orrori), Carlo Veneziano (One Dimensional Man), is characterized by a turbulent-noise rock and they’re more than ready to start a new chapter of their musical journey. After 3 records, the last one released in 2022, the band signed for Overdrive records. A new milestone is going to be released on 2024.
BUÑUEL is the sound of a difficult situation made worse by an unwillingness and an inability to play nice. If slotting it in a genre makes it easier for you to understand, just so you have something to file it under, mark it down as Heavy. With a capital H. But not heavy that’s in any way predictable, BUÑUEL’s amalgam of angular rhythms, drum salvos, blitzkrieging guitars and vocals that sound more like threats than promises is post-punk, proto heavy and arty up the ass. Arty as in avant-garde noise.
Named after the Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel, the only filmmaker to first make his bones by making good on what happens when straight razors meet eyeballs. About BUÑUEL’s newes Mansuetude, Eugene said “It’s probably our good fortune that the record Mansuetude, coming to us in a dream as it was, continues with the Bunuelian darkscapes of failure, and fixed revenge. Really iD based horror”.
