 Opinions and other informations:

    

Band of the basque progressive, with the Xoxoa label. Like other bands that arose in the early eighties, they abandoned the progressive style very early, only their first record belong to the genre as far as I know. The band dissolved in 2004.(José Manuel Iñesta)

I haven't had the chance to hear "Asfaltuko Lorea" but "Ari Gara", "Rockzale", "7-90" and the live album "Gauero zuzenean" are too much hard although htere's still some progresivos aproaches or close to, but it's an influence that is vanishing as the years avance. Sometimes, they sound to me close to Asfalto o a Topo but in basque, not for purists. (Diego Herrera)
