La Uvi

La Uvi was a punk band from Madrid founded in the early 80s and led by Manolo Quevedo (vocals and bass), “Pollo” (guitar) and Brasi (drums). Belonging to the first wave of Madrid punk, they last much longer than the usual, later mutating into Commando 9 mm. with members of Larsen, shorten later to just Commando. 

 

They played basic and brawling punk-rock and gained some repercussion with "La Policía". Their first EP was a 4 track 7'' including "'La Policía", "Ruidos", "Ya Está Bien" and "Muérete" (Spansuls Records, 1982), re-released years later as 'La Policía' (Munster Records, 2000) and re-released again in picture 7” disc under the title ‘Ya Esta Bien’ (Munster Records, 2007). 

 

In 1996 arrived they released a second single with four songs: 'Lo Que Necesitas Es Punk-Rock' (Subterfuge, 1996). Their song "Ley Y Orden" was included in one of the most important compilation of Spanish punk music, 'Viva La Punk' (Revelde Discos, 2001), an idea of Manolo Uvi, with recordings ranging from Kaka de Luxe (1978) to MCD (1988), and out of print songs like “Radio Alicante Muerta” by Urgente or “La Gran Estafa” by Ultimo Resorte.
