Shoegazer porto riquenho não soa tão familiar aos ouvidos, mais surreal ainda é saber que a banda completará 20 anos de estrada agora em 2015.
Estou falando do Un.Real, uma vasta discografia de singles,ep álbuns e uma história extensa e cheia de percalços, mudanças e sobretudo a fé na musa maior, a música.
Shoegazer climático, quase psicodelico, quase ambiente, o Un.Real é um belíssimo exemplo a ser seguido de que só a música sobrevive a tudo e todos.
Essencial.

Q. How do you feel playing live?
We Love it, its always nerve wrecking and fun, but playing live is where everything comes together for us.
Q. How do you describe Un.Real sounds?
We love so many bands that in general it can be described as psychedelic, but listening to our music is the best way to come to a conclusion.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
Our new album "Islands” is going to be a little different. We're working on a concept album which follows a timeline. So we are still deciding if we're gonna record it in that same order. It’s gonna be interesting and complicated...and we love that.
Q. Which new bands do you recommend
All Puertorrican bands: Indigo, Fantasmes, Alegria Rampante, Piegrande, Nosotro, Campo Formio, Habish and Fofe y Los Fofetiches.
Q: Which bands would you love to make a cover version of?
Pneuma - Paroxismo, Head over heels- tears for fears and Push- The Cure.

Celebrate 20 years of Un.Real on July 2015 and touring after "Islands" comes out.
Q: Any parting words?
Thanks for the opportunity and hoping we can get to play Brazil, Peru, Chile, Mexico and Japan at some point in the near future.
