Madrid three-piece: Violeta (bass, vocals), Fa (guitar) and Pablo (drums). EP released in 2014 and debut album Oído Absoluto in 2017. Noted for energetic, early-'80s Californian-influenced punk.

Origin: Madrid, Spain. EP (2014) and debut album Oído Absoluto (2017). Frequently compared to early 1980s Californian punk bands such as X and the Adolescents; associated with oi/ska-punk strains in contemporary reviews.

A single DeBaser review praises Madrid trio Rata Negra and their 2017 debut Oído Absoluto. The band (Violeta, Fa, Pablo) is compared to early-'80s Californian punk (X, Adolescents) and to oi/ska-punk strains. The reviewer highlights a 2014 EP and the band's grassroots touring.

For:Fans of early-'80s Californian punk (X, Adolescents), listeners of raw, female-fronted punk and Spanish punk enthusiasts.

 A selfie – a selfie, to be clear – captures a smiling Violeta, squeezed between Fa and Pablo in Piazza del Duomo in Milan, and no one around paying them the slightest attention, the most classic souvenir photo of the most classic group before heading home, and who knows if we will ever return to Italy is the thought that may buzz in the heads of those two boys and the girl between them, maybe it’s a hope and that selfie is a bit like tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain; and then that selfie ends up on the Facebook page, like every respectable tourist posts their holiday photos on Facebook, even the slop served at the fast-food joint.
