At the genesis of one of the most essential bands in Spanish pop-rock of the 1980s, this rarity emerges: early versions of what would later become some of the most chanted songs in Siniestro Total’s repertoire.

With limited resources but plenty of energy and humor, a three-song demo was recorded in August 1981, now available here on vinyl for the first time. The songs came first, and only later did the band take a name—initially Mari Cruz Soriano y los que afinan su piano, and shortly after, Siniestro Total.

‘Matar jipis en las Cíes’ is an original composition by the band’s founding members Alberto Torrado, Julián Hernández, and Miguel Costas, while ‘Las tetas de mi novia’ is a loose version of the song ‘I’m a Rocket’ by the Dutch band Gruppo Sportivo. ‘El Vaticano va a arder’ was contributed by Germán Coppini, the mysterious fourth member of this singular lineup, inspired by ‘Religion,’ the anti-religious rant included on Public Image Limited’s debut album.

This single is an essential document for both Siniestro Total fans and Spanish-language punk enthusiasts. First-ever vinyl edition.
