TROPIEZO: El Manual de la Perfecta Cabrona CD
Absolutely essential, fast-as-hell hardcore from Puerto Rico. Sixteen tracks clearing in sexteen minutes! This is the fucking shit! From what I can make out of the packaging, the lyrics seem to be of a political nature and their packaging is kind of cool, if awkward. It's a wide booklet with goofy cartoons in it. Nut, whatever, who fucking cares about their packaging? This is seriously some of the best hardcore i've heard in a long time. Everybody I've played this for has been all, "Dude! What the hell is this?!" So, I'm far from being alone in being stoked. I don't care if you don't listen to hardcore anymore and just listen to 9insert more listenable punk subgenre here) these days. Hell, that wouldn't be too far from my own situation. Just sayin' if you don't get into this, you don't like punk rock. Yeah it's like that.- Craven Rock (self- released)

TROPIEZO:
¿El Manual de la Perfecta Cabrona?: CD
Okay, aside from the fact that the packaging will pretty much fuck up the orderly aesthetic of any shelves you may have for your CDs, these Puerto Rican punkers have delivered one seriously good release. You get hardcore that changes tempos and rhythms on a dime, delivered by a band that loves the wild, spastic end of that genre's spectrum. Get it while you can, kids, 'cause it's sure to become a classic the second it's outta print. .. –Jimmy Alvarado (www.southkore.com)

Maximum rock n roll
TROPIEZO has been around for some time now and have put out several releases. Agrressive, full-throttle harcore sung in spanish. Good shit here, with really quick and intricate changes that enhance the overall sound on this disc. Lyrically, TROPIEZO delivers an interesting perspective on hot issues of today, without flattering everything or pamphleteering; what a relief. Nice packaging- this disc comes with a nicely printed comic-style booklet. Good fucking record from La Isla de Puerto Rico. (MS)

damn, i almost realize this record, but i was out of money, and was having so much project to participate to it. we got a Porto rico punk HC band, which throw us 16 tracks, in 15 minutes, which make us think about Los crudos, but also to south american bands as setiembre once, opus dead... the packaging is pretty cool, with a booklet/ cover in color (italian format), containing lyrics, and drawing, the whole is very politized, and thi sis a release between 20 labels, so get it on!
