Todas as décadas tiveram sua peculiaridades e seu charme, sonoramente falando, mas nenhuma conseguiu captar tão fortemente o que de melhor ocorreram em todas as demais, como os 90´s.
Se atualmente existem nichos revitalizando os 60´s, 70´s ou os 80´s, talvez, a década que mais tem sido resgatada são os 90´, seja com vibes eletrônicas, indies, gazers, jangle, grunges, pouco importa, o fato é que a molecada de hoje tem se mostrado fascinada com a década dos excessos.
Caso dos mexicanos do Acty. Com pouco menos de dois anos de vida os caras soltaram no fim de 2016 seu primeiro trabalho, "Amparo Carmem Teresa Yolanda", todo composto em espanhol mas com uma característica universal, a vibe das guitar bands noventistas estão no DNA do álbum. Ecos de Teenage Fanclub, Los Planetas, Dinosaur Jr, Yo La Tengo e mas um monte de heróis das trilhas alternativas, o Acty incorpora sua referências, e expurga os demônios de toda a juventude.
O Acty não fez nada original ou inovador, apenas guitarras estridentemente apaixonadas, e isso meu caro, pode ser feito daqui a 5 décadas, que o TBTCI vai adorar do mesmo jeito, aumente o som.
***** Interview with Acty *****
ACTY began in mid-2015, after one or another failed project by the members, the band was consolidated thanks to the initiative of wanting to make music influenced by the bands that we like the most. It all started with small rehearsals in a bedroom until it became more serious and thus combine the need to record the songs that we had already put together. The name of the band arose after forming an acronym with the initials of a character that appears in the novel "Compadre Lobo" by the Mexican writer Gustavo Sainz. The name of the character is Amparo Carmen Teresa Yolanda.
Q: Who are your influences?
Sonic Youth, Velvet Underground Los Planetas, Ride, Spaceman 3, Mercury Rev, John Cage, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr.
Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
1White Light/White Heat - Velvet Underground
2Sister - Sonic Youth
3Unidad de desplazamiento - Los planetas
4Neu! - Neu!
5Yerself is Steam - Mercury Rev
Q. How do you feel playing live?
Playing live is the only thing we really enjoy in life, everything else can go to hell at that moment, it's just us and the moment. It is an egoism to be and to remain forever like this.
Q. How do you describe Acty sounds?
We will rely more on the sound that happens in each one of the direct ones and it is like a pleasant noise, in which the adrenaline the only thing that asks is more and more.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
A bit complicated by the situation that we were looking for ways to make the songs sound the closest thing to when we played live. We feel that it was not achieved at all, we like our album and especially how they were each of the songs, but we feel that it could have been much better.
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Last Videotape, Strange Color, Internuts, Softvoid, Beztia y Somewhere.
Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
We like to play covers of "Prietto viaja al cosmos con Mariano" but we would like to cover "Chasing a Bee by Mercury Rev", some of Sonic Youth or Velvet Underground
Q: What are your plans for the future?
We are preparing to record a second album, we have to give patience and not force things as much as we did in the first recording. We already have most of the songs and we already know where and with whom we want to record them, we just need to specify them and let them flow. We also want to keep playing until our music takes us, leaving our country to play in another is something we crave enough.
Q: Any parting words
First of all thank "The Blog That Celebrates Itself" for taking the time to listen to different sounds around the world and make us part of this pleasant experience.
We want to add that from the following week it will be available in Cassette format and thanks to "Amigos Records" our album "Amparo Carmen Teresa Yolanda" you can buy it at https://www.kichink.com/stores/amigos-records or directly with us.

Spanish version
1. ACTY comenzó a mediados de 2015, después de uno que otro proyecto fallido por parte de los integrantes, se logró consolidar la banda gracias a la iniciativa de querer hacer música influenciada por las bandas que más nos gustan. Todo empezó con pequeños ensayos en una recámara hasta volverse más serio y así conjugar la necesidad de grabar las canciones que ya habíamos armado. El nombre de la banda surgió luego de formar un acrónimo con las iniciales de un personaje que aparece en la novela "Compadre Lobo" del escritor mexicano Gustavo Sainz. El nombre del personaje es Ampara Carmen Teresa Yolanda.
2. Sonic Youth, Velvet Underground Los Planetas, Ride, Spaceman 3, Mercury Rev, John Cage, My Bloody Valantine, Dinosaur Jr.
3. 1White Light/White Heat - Velvet Underground
2Sister - Sonic Youth
3Unidad de desplazamiento - Los planetas
4Neu! - Neu!
5Yerself is Steam - Mercury Rev
4. Tocar en vivo es lo único que realmente disfrutamos en la vida, todo lo demás se puede ir a la mierda en ese momento, sólo somos nosotros y el instante. Es como un egoismo de estar y permanecer por siempre así.
5. Nos basaremos más en el sonido que ocurre en cada uno de los directos y es como un ruido placentero, en el que la adrenalina lo único que pide es más y más.
6. Un tanto complicado por el hecho de que buscabamos la manera de que las canciones sonaran lo más parecido a cuando las tocamos en vivo. Sentimos que no se logró del todo, nos gusta nuestro disco y sobre todo como quedaron cada una de las canciones, pero sentimos que pudo haber sido mucho mejor.
7. Last Videotape, Strange Color, Internuts, Softvoid, Beztia y Somewhere.
8. Nos gusta tocar covers de Prietto Viaja al Cosmos con Mariano pero nos gustaría coverear Chasing a Bee de Mercury Rev, alguna de Sonic Youth o Velvet Underground.
9 Grabar un segundo disco, darle paciencia y no forzar tanto las cosas como nos pasó en la primera grabación. Ya tenemos la mayoría de las canciones y ya sabemos en donde y con quien las queremos grabar, sólo falta amarrarlas más y dejarlas fluir. También queremos seguir tocando hasta donde nuestra música nos lleve, salir de nuestro país para tocar en otro es algo que ansiamos bastante.
10. Primero que nada agradecer infinitamente a The Blog That Celebrates Itself por tomarse el tiempo de escuchar diferentes sonidos al rededor del mundo y hacernos parte de está bonita experiencia.
Quisiéramos agragar que apartir de la siguiente semana estará disponible en formato Cassette y gracias a Amigos Records nuestro álbum "Amparo Carmen Teresa Yolanda" lo podrán adquirir solicitandolo en la página de ellos https://www.kichink.com/stores/amigos-records o directamente con nosotros. Gracias!
