Airbag has been around for more than 20 years and is becoming more and more successful. No stumbling. Always uphill on a gentle but safe slope; come on, what cyclists call a false plain. They do not have any hit that stands out from the other songs. They are neither handsome nor ugly. They are disgustingly normal. To top it all, almost all of their songs lack the chorus. At least they lack that phrase that later has a (x4) so they don't have to write it four times on the sheets where the letters come from. So… where is the secret ingredient of your success? In his songs, obviously. During all these years they have been giving us songs and songs encapsulated in the form of LPs to the fans. They are the dreaded cluster bombs, which before reaching the ground open and drop ten or twelve smaller bombs that multiply their destructive capacity. And if the gunner in charge of assembling them is Carlos Hernández, the devastation is total. Although the Oslo Treaty prohibits this type of bomb, Airbag has thrown another one at us. Before releasing it from their new plane (Sonido Muchacho) they wrote the title in chalk on the casing: “Indie Cemetery”. Each one who interprets it as they want, but without giving it much thought, then what happens happens ... Now, without coming to mind, I have to talk about live shows. Ok, I know that this is a promo sheet for an album and in principle it wouldn't make much sense to mention the concerts, but Airbag is different from other bands. Records are a means, not an end. It's about listening to the album two hundred times to get to the real end, which is the concert. For those who have never been to one, I will tell you that it is the closest thing to spending an hour in a pressure cooker. I was a carrot in another reincarnation, that's why I know. I lived a peaceful life in a bush until someone threw me to the stew. Every time I go to an Airbag concert, I can't help but remember that time I spent at 130 ° jumping around the ham bone, the chickpeas and the piece of cabbage.
