‘Cuando las ciudades, Arden en llamas, Mejor escucha y mira, Como cambia el cielo, Recuera que la muerte, Siempre corre a tu lado’ (Sabes Quién Soy) / ‘When cities, Burn in flames, Better listen and see, How the sky changes, Remember that death, Always runs by your side’ (You Know Who I Am)

Suicidas are a Barcelona-based punk band, whose members have also played in a myriad of projects spanning Belgrado, Irreal, Ruidosa Inmundicia, and Tàrrega 91′.  While the band remain intermittently active in terms of live shows, their five EPs, including two splits with Mallorca’s Trance and New York’s Pox, were all recorded between 2012 and 2016.  Éxitos Y Fracasos (Successes And Failures) consolidates all fifteen tracks into a single album.

Tightly crafted, darkly melodic punk has always been the band’s calling card, the trio revelling in juxta posing a deep-seated sense of melancholy with their innately infectious melodicism.  The heart of the band’s sound is built around the stridently energetic dual vocals as the weave together tales of broken dreams and bitter betrayals, grappling to overcome the despair and anxiety that results.  Personal standouts are the serpentine Cuerda Floja (Tightrope) and the raucously escalating Corriendo A Ciegas (Running Blind) from the band’s 2012 self-titled debut EP, together with the plaintively arresting Sabes Quién Soy (You Know Who I Am) from their 2015 split with Trance.
