Some people
would assert that
the most visceral
strain of punk
arose during the
twin transatlantic
ascents of Reagan and Thatcher in the 1980s, extreme times calling for an apt response.
This was music as a tool, an easily wielded device for anyone who wished to express his/
her frustration with straightforward, kick-to-the-head directness. It's through a similar
brand of gross dissatisfaction with the status quo that The Fact came together to estab
lish themselves as perhaps the rawest crust-punk band in Athens; their core line-up
moved to Georgia from Mexico City in 2000. The band's lyrics are sung in Spanish, but
the anger transcends language barriers.
Guitarist Greg Calderon, who joined the group after moving to Georgia from Arizona,
says that he and his bandmates, brothers Ricardo, Alberto and Roberto Carmona, "have
a big message—a lot of their lyrics come from issues that they have to deal with and
that their friends and family have to deal with in Mexico, the horrible system that they
have there. And a lot of the lyrics are for the kids that are suffering there, living on the
streets, hungry." Their demo CD-R, recorded in a storage space in Atlanta, is tellingly
titled Anarkopunk.
"They say that they weren't born that way, it's just been a part of their environment,"
says Calderon. "It's just the way they became. They definitely have anarchist ideas in
their music." The band plans to follow up the Anarkopunk demo with a second recording
and some touring to get their message to the people. This show, located at the under
rated Mexican restaurant Tlaloc, features similarly minded Portland, OR-based Latino
punk band Adelitos, "salsa horror" Misfits cover band Los Meesfits, and stalwart locals
Gnarx. [Jeff Tobias]
come punctuated with an offbeat
sense of humor.
