Escorbuto Crónico

Escorbuto Crónico is the pioneer band of the Canary Islands punk. They formed in La Laguna (Tenerife) at the end of 79, influenced by bands such Dead Kennedys, Black Flag and G.B.H. as a quartet that had to steal instruments to be able to play. A few months later, due to differences with the rest of the members, the guitarist left, leaving Lisón on drums, Bola on bass and Zurda on guitar. Some time later, Bola left the band and Txiru, Lisón's brother, joined the band to play bass. Jordi also joined the band as the singer. 

 

Dedicating a song on the radio to "Ronald Reagan's motherfucker" made them quite popular and showed that they were a group fully convinced that punk should undermine the roots of society without stopping before any conventionalism. In 1982 they recorded their first single, 'Documentación', on JaJa Records, and the following year and on the same label, they recorded a second single and an album, both kept unreleased.

 

In 1983 the band split, although very soon after some of their members integrated in the already formed Guerrilla Urbana and the singer formed one of the first Oi! bands in the Canary Islands, Conemrad. In 2005 the single 'Documentación' was re-released and in 2003 was reelased the songs they recorded for the unreleased album, titled 'La Chusma No Se Rinde'. [SOURCE: ESCENA EN KANARIAS]
