Even though it's everyone's knowledge that Argentina has been one of othe major producer of Rock bands in Latin America, to think that they had an impressive New Wave scene is relatively new to me. Yes, everyone who speaks Spanish knows Soda Stereo(even people who loathes Rock, like reggaeton fans, who knows "De Música Ligera" and butchers it everytime it's played in karaoke), but bands like Virus, Los Pillos, Sobrecarga, or G.I.T., to say a few, never really made it outside their mainland. Or at least to this lovely island called Macondo.
Fricción was one of those bands. Formed in 1985 and having Soda's frontman, Gustavo Cerati, as one of their producers and instrumentalist in their beginnings , it's impossible to deny the resemblances and how good they actually were. A nice fanpage and this link to their first album, "Consumación o Consumo", shall prove my point.
Enjoy! :)
