Interterror

Interterror (sometimes written as Interterrör) was a Valencian punk music group from the 1980s. They had a great success during the first years of that decade, thanks to the song “Adiós Lili Marleen”. Interterror formed in 1980 by teenagers, being their first stable formation Willy (vocals), Víctor “Acnex” (drums), Paco (bass, composer and founder) and Miguel (guitar). Their influences were the first British punk bands. They released a demo with four songs: “Los Héroes Están Cansados”, “Antisocial”, “IRA” and “Suicídate”. 

 

In 1983 'Vivos O Muertos' was reelased, a bootleg cassette recording of a concert at the Sala Zeleste in Barcelona. They got a contract and that same year they released their first official recording, the single “Adiós Lili Marleen”. The single was a success, being distributed in large stores, and the print run of 1,500 copies sold out quickly, becoming a coveted collector's item.

 

In 1984, differences between Paco and the rest of the band caused the former to leave the band to form La Resistencia. Before Paco left, they recorded a series of songs for an album that remained unreleased. Paco was replaced by Guillermo, and in 1985 'Interterror' was released, with the two songs from their single and tracks that had been recorded by Paco the previous year. The album was another success, but the group ended up disbanding months later. Like “Adiós Lili Marleen” it is a hard-to-find collector's album.

 

Despite the momentary success they enjoyed, Interterror fell into oblivion once they disbanded. It was not until the 2000s that small record labels turned their attention to the group's work. Thus, in 2001 the compilation on CD 'Los Héroes Están Cansados' (with their demo and two live performances) was released by the Zaragozan label Bazofia Records; in 2002 'Sublevación' (compilation with the album and 'Vivos O Muertos') and in 2004 “Adiós Lili Marleen” and 'Interterror' were re-released on vinyl by Radikal 1977 Records.
