A cena independente argentina esta em plena ebulição, muitas novas e, boas bandas vem surgindo da terra de nossos hermanos, vide Camion, Nax, Otono, e agora chega às páginas do TBTCI, o quinteto Los Años Rojos.
Dreampop moderno, repleto de texturas climáticas e sonhadoras dão mote ao novo trabalho, o EP, "El Lugar". Detalhe importante para o trabalho dos caras é o idioma, todas as canções são em espanhol, e soam mais do que apropriadas no contexto criado pela banda.

Foi-se o tempo que a boa música era feita apenas no eixo, UK/USA, hoje, o submundo dos bons sons flui efervescente nos quatro cantos do mundo, e o Los Años Rojos comprova essa máxima.
***** Interview with Los Años Rojos *****
Martin (guitarist, lead vocalist and composer) and Javier (violinist) met working as music teachers in 2010. There they became friends and said that at some point they would make a musical project. Six years later Martín and Javier, at another point in their lives, decided to form the band adding some of their former students graduated from those schools: Vicente on bass and choirs, Fermín on keyboards, Germán on drums and octapad.
Q: Who are your influences?
There is a great influence of the sound of pop rock and the new wave of the 80s, however the structures of the songs oscillate between the current indie, the noise and garage of the 90s and the beginning of the century, and the punk of the 80s. There are also influences from Argentine bands such as “Babasónicos”, “El mató a un policía motorizado” y “ Mi amigo invencible” among others.
Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time ...
“La dinastía scorpio” ( El mató a un policía motorizado)
“Room on fire” (Strokes)
“Reflector” (Arcade fire)
“Nocturne” (Wild nothing)
“La danza de los principiantes” (Mi amigo invencible)

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Connected, alive and happy. We feel an instrument of music, whose function is to express something that music means, and we lend our bodies to it.
Q. How do you describe Los Años Rojos' sounds?
We are a band of original formation, which finds its roots in melancholy and the future. Music with airs of urbanity within a cocktail of changing mixtures: songs that travel between guitars, synthes and violins, always in movement to develop new sound routes
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
Very funny and enjoyable, we recorded in a very beautiful studio, with a sound engineer and producer friend of the band: Juan "Ponche" Abraham. He is very close and there was great communication. The result really surprised and enchanted us.
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
We recommend “Can ki” y “Fus delei”, Argentine bands of young members of la ciudad de La Plata.
Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
"Shadow" (Wild Nothing)
Q: What are your plans for the future?
Disseminate the record as much as we can, we believe a lot in the sound that it has and we understand that it brings new ideas and proposals to the music scene. We also aim at the development of our events, we want to make better and more convincing our events, with more complete and nutritious artistic proposals.
Q: Any parting words?
We wanted to thank TBTCI for supporting and spreading the rock music of South America, where there is also a musical movement of great importance with its own unique sound.

Spanish version
Martin (guitarrista, voz principal y compositor) y Javier (violinista) se conocieron trabajando como profesores de música en el año 2010. Allí se hicieron amigos y dijeron que en algún momento conformarían un proyecto musical. Seis años después Martín y Javier, en otro momento de sus vidas, deciden conformar la banda sumando a algunos de sus ex alumnos egresados de esas escuelas: Vicente en bajo y coros, Fermín en teclados, Germán en batería y octapad.
Q: Who are your influences?
Hay una gran influencia del sonido del rock pop y el new wave de los 80s, sin embargo las estructuras de las canciones oscilan entre el indie actual, el noise y garage de los 90s y principio de siglo, y el punk de los 80s. Se ven también influencias de bandas argentinas como “Babasónicos”, “El mató a un policía motorizado” y “ Mi amigo invencible” entre otras.
Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
“La dinastía scorpio” ( El mató a un policía motorizado)

Somos una banda de original formación, que encuentra sus raíces en la melancolía y el porvenir. Música con aires de urbanidad dentro de un cóctel de mixturas cambiantes: canciones que viajan entre guitarras, synthes y violines, siempre en movimiento para desarrollar nuevas rutas sonoras
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?

Q: Any parting words?
Queríamos agradecer a TBTCI por apoyar y difundir la música rock de Sudamérica, donde también hay un movimiento musical de gran importancia con una sonoridad propia y singular.
